In the US, cloud-based business intelligence (BI) and analytics specialist Sigma has hired Ryan Ried as President, while Julie Lemieux joins as Vice President of Design and Wade Tibke as Vice President of Marketing.

Sigma's cloud BI and analytics application provides live access to cloud data warehouses using a spreadsheet-like interface, enabling businesses to make complex data queries without writing SQL. Ried (pictured) joins with two decades of industry experience leading sales teams at start-ups and enterprises. Most recently, he worked for digital transformation support specialist Chef Software as SVP of Sales, Worldwide, before which he was VP of Oracle Marketing Cloud. Earlier, he held senior roles at Gigya (acquired by SAP), Birst (acquired by Infor), SAP and Adobe.

Lemieux previously worked as the Head of User Experience at Databricks, before which she served as Chief Experience Officer for BI & Analytics at SAP, managing a global 30-person team to design, build and release SAP Lumira. Tibke comes to Sigma from Tableau Software where he served as VP of Marketing Operations, and worked for over ten years in various marketing roles.

CEO Rob Woollen comments: 'We've seen tremendous demand this quarter as data-first companies seek to execute cloud strategies, simplify data analysis, and drive BI adoption. Our unique approach to data access and collaboration is getting attention, and it became clear that we needed to bring on additional leadership to help us capitalize on this momentum as we enter our next stage of growth'.
