We’re excited to bring you a new episode of Executive Spotlight, our series featuring Denodo executives and thought leaders shaping the future of data and AI. In this episode, Ravi Shankar, Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, and Alberto Pan, Executive Vice President & Chief Technical Officer, walk us through the first three predictions from Denodo’s 2026 Data Predictions Report.
