Andrew Madson — CEO

I help data and AI startups build developer communities that drive adoption and revenue. Currently Founding Head of Developer Relations at Fivetran. Before DevRel, I spent a decade leading analytics and ML teams at J.P. Morgan Chase, MassMutual, LPL Financial, and Arizona State University — shipping models, building data platforms, and managing cross-functional teams at scale. That combination of deep experience in leading data teams, leading marketing, and being a hands-on practitioner is rare. I don't just market to data engineers, startup founders, and leaders — I've been one. What I bring: → (2x) Founding DevRel — built programs from scratch at two data infrastructure companies → (1x) Founding Product Marketer — launched GTM for a data startup pre-acquisition → Led analytics and ML teams across Fortune 500 companies and higher education → O'Reilly author: Co-author of Apache Polaris: The Definitive Guide. Currently writing Data Transformation: The Definitive Guide and AI-Ready Data: Elevating Content into Context for Modern AI Systems → 250K+ community across YouTube (110K), LinkedIn (95K), and newsletter (35K) → 50+ keynote presentations worldwide → 18K+ learners across 5 LinkedIn Learning courses → Adjunct professor of data science and engineering at 7 universities I work with technical founders and data teams building the next-generation data infrastructure — Apache Iceberg, data lakehouses, transformation tools, and AI infrastructure.
