About Christopher Lynch

I’ve built my career leading high-growth enterprise software companies—scaling early-stage ventures into market leaders and navigating successful exits along the way.Today, I’m CEO at AtScale, where we’re helping the world’s largest enterprises make smarter decisions with AI-ready, governed data. Our semantic layer platform bridges the gap between data and the business—fueling analytics and GenAI with speed, trust, and scale.Before AtScale, I led companies like Vertica (HP), Acopia (F5) and led go-to-market at places like Arrowpoint (ARPT-IPO) and Prominet (Lucent). I’ve worked across every stage of growth—from scrappy startups to IPOs and acquisitions—and bring that same energy to advising founders and boards.Whether I’m operating, investing, or advising, my focus is the same: build teams that execute, stay customer-obsessed, and win in the market.We’re just getting started on what data and AI can do. Let’s connect if you’re building toward what’s next.
