Get It Right.
With Alation.

Satyen is the CEO and co-founder of Alation. Alation is the creator of AIOS™, the open, governed, self-improving intelligence operating system for enterprises that cannot afford to get AI wrong. The company serves more than 500 customers, including hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies, governmental agencies, and NGOs. Prior to Alation, Satyen spent nearly a decade at Oracle, where he ran the Financial Services Warehousing and Performance Management business. Prior to Oracle, Satyen was an associate with the private investment firm, Texas Pacific Group, and an analyst with Morgan Stanley & Co.

GT Volpe is VP of Product at Alation, where he leads the product management team behind the Alation Intelligence Operating System (AIOS), spanning the full platform from catalog and lineage to data products and Agent Studio.

GT joined Alation as an early employee after several years in the business intelligence world, where he saw first-hand how hard it is to balance self-service access, shared semantics, and governance. He started as a sales engineer, helping customers evaluate and adopt the platform, and after moving from the US to the UK led Alation's go-to-market in EMEA before stepping into R&D in a product leadership role.

He is a Princeton graduate, lives in London, and grows bonsai trees, most of which are still alive.

Luke McLaughlan is a Senior Product Manager at Alation, where he leads product for Critical Data Manager — automated governance for the data behind an organisation's most critical reports. He has spent the last decade on the gap between what governance tools promise and what the executives accountable for data actually need from them, first as a technology strategy consultant in regulated industries, then as a Solutions Architect at Salesforce and Alation. His work sits at the intersection of regulatory accountability, AI-era data risk, and the realities of running a governance program at scale.

Kyle Johnson is a Product Management leader at Alation, where he oversees the company's Data Quality & Observability, AI Governance, and Ontologies product areas. He works closely with engineering and customers to build the infrastructure organizations need to trust their data and govern how it's used — from monitoring data quality at scale to setting guardrails for AI agents.

Kyle brings a builder's mindset to product, especially focused on the practical mechanics of making data usable and trustworthy for both people and AI — helping teams move past cataloging and governance as checkbox exercises toward systems that actually hold up as AI adoption accelerates.

Paul is an experienced director and entrepreneur specialising in data, AI, governance, risk, and strategy. He currently leads Flutter Entertainment plc's data enablement & governance, responsible AI and data protection offices within its UK and Ireland region, home of famous brands like Paddy Power, Sky Betting & Gaming, Betfair, tombola and Pokerstars. Previously, he founded and led (as CEO) a data, AI and privacy consultancy and technology company, acting as a trusted partner for clients across Europe, the Americas and Asia. Client sectors included ecommerce, gaming, finance, public sector, and more.

Paul spent a decade in Ireland's corporate banking sector, with NAMA (Ireland's special purpose asset management vehicle), Lloyds Banking Group, and Bank of Scotland. He is qualified in the fields of accountancy (ACCA), privacy (CIPP/E), privacy technology (CIPT), AI governance (AIGP), banking (QFA), project management (PRINCE2), and business & finance (Bachelor of Business degree).
