Mojio taps big data pioneer Vidhya Ranganathan to manage, enhance and scale the company's secure cloud-based connected vehicle platform. This move adds proven SaaS and cloud computing leadership to the company as it recruits talent for its growing engineering teams in Palo Alto, Prague and Vancouver.
Vancouver, BC, April 19, 2017--(T-Net)--Mojio, a leading open platform for connected cars, has announced the appointment of Vidhya Ranganathan as its Vice President of Engineering.
Vidhya brings more than 25 years of proven SaaS leadership to Mojio's growing team of mobile developers, software engineers and and quality assurance managers.
Speaking about what Vidhya's appointment means for Mojio, CEO Kenny Hawk said, “Vidhya's track record for building, mentoring and retaining high-caliber engineering teams is simply unmatched. Her proven ability to scale SaaS platforms to tens of millions of users is a perfect fit for the growing demand we're experiencing from mobile network operators.”
A pioneering engineer at heart, Vidhya developed the foundation for “Big Data” long before the term was coined. In the mid 1990s, she launched one of the first online analytical processing (OLAP) solutions, sparking a new generation of cloud-based business intelligence tools.
Software giant Oracle picked up on this breakthrough, acquiring the technology and team for $3.3 billion in 2007. Oracle charged Vidhya with ownership of the company's flagship Business Intelligence Platform, generating nearly $2 billion in annual revenue from Fortune 500 customers, including British Telecom, Credit Suisse and Delta Airlines.
Prior to joining Mojio, Vidhya was the SVP of Engineering and Products at Accellion, where she developed the world's only secure content sharing platform for private clouds and regulated industries. Her award-winning cloud platform, Kiteworks, delivered a perfect solution for security conscious enterprises (such as Verizon), government agencies, and financial services, scaling to tens of millions of users worldwide.
Vidhya will now manage and scale Mojio's cloud-based connected vehicle platform, driving forward three key areas of innovation and growth:
“I couldn't be happier with Mojio's high-energy team,” shared Vidhya. “The pace of growth in the connected car space is exhilarating, and I look forward to nurturing an engineering culture to match.”
