Based in New York City, Saugata succeeds Mike Capone, who is stepping down after leading the company for 8 years.
Saugata joins Qlik from S&P Global, where he most recently served as President of S&P Global Market Intelligence and Chief Enterprise Data Officer. During his career, he has built and scaled enterprise data and intelligence platforms while driving business transformation, revenue growth, and AI adoption across global organizations.
At S&P Global, he led the Energy and Market Intelligence divisions through periods of rapid growth and operational transformation. Saugata also served as the company’s first Chief Enterprise Data Officer, overseeing initiatives focused on AI adoption, interoperability, enterprise productivity, and data distribution.
“Qlik has built something rare: the ability to turn fragmented data into real outcomes at scale in the AI era. The defining challenge in Enterprise AI is making data trusted, connected, and adaptable enough to work across any environment. That is where Qlik is uniquely positioned to enable customers to move from pilots to real business impact. I look forward to partnering with this talented team and our customers to achieve our mission of making data work for AI and making AI work for business,” said Saugata Saha.
“We are delighted to welcome a leader of Saugata’s caliber to Qlik. He brings exactly the depth of enterprise data and platform experience that Qlik needs to accelerate its next phase of growth. We are confident he will build on the strong foundation that the company’s excellent team has established. We are also deeply grateful to Mike Capone for his outstanding contributions to Qlik over the past 8 years,” said Mike Lipps, Chairman of the Board at Qlik and Operating Partner at Thoma Bravo.
Seth Boro, Managing Partner at Thoma Bravo, added, “Saugata has extensive experience in building AI-driven data and intelligence products and platforms that organizations depend on at scale. He understands what it takes to innovate at scale, while supporting enterprise product adoption, which is precisely what Qlik’s next chapter of growth requires.”
Before S&P Global, Saugata spent 7 years at McKinsey & Company and earlier worked with Godrej Group across sales, e-commerce product development, and strategic leadership roles. He holds degrees from St. Xavier’s College Kolkata, Xavier Institute of Management, and Harvard Business School.
Qlik currently serves more than 30,000 customers globally, including over 75% of Fortune 500 companies.
