Tellius, the AI-driven decision intelligence platform, today announced the appointments of Hardik Chheda to Chief Product Officer and John Aven to Head of Engineering.

“I have been fortunate to be a part of Tellius’ early journey to build a foundation for success. Customers love our product, evidenced by the best-in-class net promoter score over 90. Tellius was also recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in the 2022 Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms and a Representative Vendor in the 2022 Market Guide for Multipersona Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms,” Chheda said. “I am excited to be back at Tellius to lead the next wave of platform innovation and build a generational company that redefines how companies use augmented analytics and decision intelligence to make better business decisions.”

“I joined Tellius because they’re solving the analytic headaches I suffered for years,” said Aven. “The biggest bottleneck for any analytics problem is waiting on data engineering, scientists, or dashboards to answer a one-off question. Time-to-delivery on these questions is always extremely slow, even at a company practicing agile production. Tellius puts data and analytics in the hands of business users to drive faster, better, data-backed decisions—and I’m looking forward to working with Ajay, Hardik, and the rest of the team to continue innovating on these capabilities.”
“Decision Intelligence is becoming one of the most sought-after solutions for organizations interested in modernizing their data analytics stack, and I couldn’t be happier to welcome Hardik back and to have John join us during such a pivotal time,” said Ajay Khanna, Founder and CEO of Tellius. “Both Hardik and John will bring their product development and analytics expertise to advance the power of our platform to every data-driven company. With their knowledge, leadership, and bold ideas, Tellius will become the de facto product for empowering every worker, regardless of their analytical skills, with granular insights into what is happening, why metrics change, and how to impact business outcomes.”
