Business Wire
As part of its mission to help companies build better digital
products and experiences, Amplitude, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPL) today
announced that former Tableau executive Francois Ajenstat has
joined the company as its new chief product officer. With over 25
years of industry experience, Ajenstat will lead Amplitude’s
product management, design, and growth organization globally.
The move comes as Amplitude continues to grow its business by
enabling companies to understand how customers use their products.
Amplitude's Digital Analytics Platform provides these companies
with data they can trust, deeper insights into customer behaviors,
and faster actions to improve the digital experience.
“As product, marketing, and digital experience analytics
continue to converge into a single category, we have the
opportunity to serve all these audiences with our platform,” said
Amplitude CEO Spenser Skates. “Francois’ remarkable track record of
building and managing products in the data and analytics space
makes him the ideal fit for our next phase of growth. He is
exceptional at product strategy, understands our space deeply, and
puts the customer experience at the heart of every decision. I look
forward to working alongside him as we scale and deliver even more
value to our customers.”
Prior to joining Amplitude, Ajenstat led Tableau’s product
organization for 13 years as it grew from a small startup to a
multi-billion dollar public company that was ultimately acquired by
Salesforce. Before that, Ajenstat spent a decade at Microsoft
driving the business and product strategy for SQL Server and
Microsoft Office and helping to define the company’s environmental
sustainability strategy.
“Data is critical to the future of digital products and
experiences. Companies need clear insights into what people want,
where they get stuck, and what keeps them coming back in order to
deliver on the promise of those products,” Ajenstat added.
“Amplitude’s platform gives teams the tools to make this promise a
reality. I’m excited to help our customers build the best products
in the world and unlock their digital channels in a way previously
not possible.”
As part of today’s news, former Amplitude CPO Justin Bauer has
transitioned from the company to take a well-deserved break.
“Justin joined as our first product hire eight years ago when we
were $2 million in ARR and has scaled Amplitude to over $250
million as our first CPO,” added Skates. “From delivering a
market-leading analytics product, to expanding our platform, to
delivering our new self-serve plan, Justin has been instrumental in
every stage of our growth. It has been a privilege to work with
him.”
