Joe is Head of Sales at Sifflet, focused on solving the data trust problem by helping teams detect broken data, understand business impact, and fix issues before they drive bad decisions. Previously at Matillion for 9 years, he led enterprise and strategic sales across EMEA, built and scaled high performing teams, consistently outperformed targets, and started as the company’s first sales hire, helping shape early go to market and partnerships.
Rémi is Head of Operations at Sifflet where he drives operational execution and scale. Previously at Contentsquare for nearly a decade, he led strategic cross functional projects and built operational excellence capabilities, spanning BI and KPIs, data governance and master data, knowledge management, tooling, process optimization, and PMO leadership.
Laura Malins is the Head of Product at Sifflet. She spent a decade at Matillion, joining when the company was around 10 people and helping drive its growth to unicorn scale, including leading major product launches, evolving pricing and billing, optimising GTM approaches and improving the customer onboarding journey. She later led product at ALTR where she drove forwards a comprehensive vision and more complete product processes. Laura is passionate about building great products and supports individuals and small companies through board roles and mentoring.
Alex is Head of Solutions Engineering and Customer Success at Sifflet, leading technical presales and post sales to drive smooth adoption and measurable outcomes. Previously at Deepomatic, he built and scaled Sales Engineering from first hire to Director, defined sales methodology with leadership, shaped the roadmap with product, built key partnerships, signed the company’s first North America customer, and expanded into LATAM. Earlier, he was a data and analytics consultant at Accenture in the UK, delivering BI and reporting programs and leading agile project work.
Romain Doutriaux is Head of Marketing at Sifflet, driving brand and pipeline with a sharp go to market lens. Previously, he led global marketing at Pigment, scaling inbound pipe gen, ABX and influence plays, and a 20 plus person team.

Frequently asked questions
What’s on the horizon for data observability as AI and regulations evolve?
The future of data observability is all about scale and responsibility. With AI adoption growing and regulations tightening, businesses need observability tools that can handle unstructured data, ensure SLA compliance, and support security observability. At Sifflet, we're already helping customers monitor ML models and enforce data contracts, and we're excited about building self-healing pipelines and extending observability to new data types.
What makes a metadata catalog different from a traditional data catalog?
Great question! A metadata catalog goes beyond just listing data assets. It enriches technical metadata with business context like ownership, definitions, and data quality scores. This makes it easier for users to trust what they find, and it supports advanced features like data lineage tracking, data freshness checks, and automated impact analysis. It's a big leap forward in data discovery and governance.
What role does containerization play in data observability?
Containerization enhances data observability by enabling consistent and isolated environments, which simplifies telemetry instrumentation and anomaly detection. It also supports better root cause analysis when issues arise in distributed systems or microservices architectures.
What makes Sifflet different from other observability tools like Datadog or IBM Databand?
Unlike Datadog, which focuses on infrastructure and application telemetry, and IBM Databand, which specializes in pipeline health, Sifflet offers true end-to-end data observability. It combines data quality monitoring, data lineage tracking, and anomaly detection into one platform, all powered by AI agents designed to reduce manual effort and boost trust in your data.
How did Adaptavist reduce data downtime with Sifflet?
Adaptavist used Sifflet’s observability platform to map the blast radius of changes, alert users before issues occurred, and validate results pre-production. This proactive approach to data pipeline monitoring helped them eliminate downtime during a major refactor and shift from 'merge and pray' to a risk-aware, observability-first workflow.
How does Sifflet help scale dbt environments without compromising data quality?
Great question! Sifflet enhances your dbt environment by adding a robust data observability layer that enforces standards, monitors key metrics, and ensures data quality monitoring across thousands of models. With centralized metadata, automated monitors, and lineage tracking, Sifflet helps teams avoid the usual pitfalls of scaling like ownership ambiguity and technical debt.
Can Sifflet help with root cause analysis when there's a data issue?
Absolutely. Sifflet's built-in data lineage tracking plays a key role in root cause analysis. If a dashboard shows unexpected data, teams can trace the issue upstream through the lineage graph, identify where the problem started, and resolve it faster. This visibility makes troubleshooting much more efficient and collaborative.
What kind of visibility does Sifflet provide for Airflow DAGs?
Sifflet offers a clear view of DAG run statuses and their potential impact on the rest of your data pipeline. Combined with data lineage tracking, it gives you full transparency, making root cause analysis and incident response much easier.
