As a result, businesses can democratize their data and use it to drive transformative business results rapidly and at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches. 

“I’m thrilled to join the CorralData team to give our customers simple, secure, and accessible AI-based tools that harness the power of their data,” said Gareth Price, Chief Technology Officer, CorralData. “CorralData’s platform effortlessly extracts invaluable insights, unlocks game-changing recommendations, and gives companies powerful tools that help them thrive in today’s complex world, and I’m excited to be at the forefront of this innovation.”

In addition, he led the team that built the COVID-19 analytics dashboard and data collection program that won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service and served more than 30 million daily users at its peak. Most recently, Gareth led efforts to train a large language model on the entire 170+ year archive of The New York Times and build an AI platform to utilize this model, and was part of the Times’ internal Generative AI working group.

Prior to his role at The New York Times, Gareth led the growth and free product teams at Codecademy, a startup with a successful $525 million exit.
