Director, Product @ Dremio

Casey Karst is a Principal Product Manager at Dremio. While new to Open Data Lakehouses, he is not new to data. Casey started his career at Microsoft working on Azure SQL DB; delightfully naive of the enormity of the cloud paradigm shift that was occurring around him. After that experience, Casey proceeded to work on SQL Server 2019, MSFT Analytics Platform Service, Azure SQL DW, and Azure Synapse before leaving Microsoft to spend time at Splunk and RelationalAI. Now Casey is back home once again helping users deliver business value with their data via … SQL.
