"Sigma made self-service analytics a reality for all enterprise users," said Mike Palmer, CEO of Sigma. "With Data Apps, we enabled self-service workflows to empower users to increase their productivity. Now, our AI services not only extend choice and governance to enterprises as they evolve their AI adoption, but also put natural language, sophisticated ML, and data discovery into everyone’s hands. Sigma is the first and only platform to make data, AI, and workflow automation an enterprise-wide capability. Studer brings the clarity, integrity, and strategic discipline needed to communicate Sigma’s differentiated approach at scale.”
“Joining Sigma at this stage is a rare opportunity,” says Studer. “The pace of innovation—particularly in AI and embedded analytics—is unmatched. What truly differentiates Sigma is its commitment to transparency and trust. Leaders don’t have to take AI outputs at face value; they can see how decisions are made. That’s a foundational shift in how businesses operate, and I’m excited to help drive the next phase of growth.”
Studer will support Sigma’s marketing efforts as the company continues to grow and expand its platform features in AI, Data Apps, and Embedded Analytics. On May 20, the company will reveal new ways to build data products, embed AI into products, and operationalize machine learning with transparency and control.
