About Khana Db

My career has been built at the center of one of the fastest-moving technology environments in the world.I spent over a decade at Microsoft in Redmond, starting as a Data Analyst working across business intelligence and product analytics, and growing into a Senior Data Analyst role supporting enterprise-wide programs across cloud services, commercial operations, and customer insights. Along the way I spent a year at Microsoft\'s India Development Center in Hyderabad, working with regional teams across Asia-Pacific product and business operations. That experience gave me a much deeper appreciation for how global technology companies manage data at scale across very different markets and engineering cultures.After years inside one of the world\'s most influential technology companies, I moved into an Equity Partner role at Cohesity, a Santa Clara-based company building the next generation of enterprise data security and management infrastructure. It felt like a natural next step, taking everything I had learned about data architecture, analytics at scale, and enterprise technology and applying it to a company solving some of the hardest data challenges organizations face today.I hold an MBA in Business Analytics from Stanford Graduate School of Business, and my undergraduate degree in Economics from Lomonosov Moscow State University gave me the quantitative foundation that everything else is built on.If you are working in enterprise technology, cloud data management, or AI-driven data strategy, I would genuinely enjoy connecting.
