In his new role as COO, Potter is responsible for driving the strategic alignment across all functions and the operational execution of Actian’s business. He will continue to oversee Actian’s global revenue operations.
“I’m proud of the growth the Actian team has so far achieved, and I’m honored to take on this elevated position within the organisation,” says Potter. “The data industry is poised for accelerated growth, and I am eager to help drive Actian’s strategic business plan and contribute to our continued success.”
