Paul Colgan, Kx SVP & Head of Telco, and Przemek Tomczak, Kx SVP Internet of Things and Utilities, presented use cases and industry examples where the implementation of streaming analytics has delivered significant business performance improvements, efficiency gains, and actionable insights.
Ashok Reddy joined as Chief Executive Office in August 2022. He has more than twenty years’ experience leading teams and driving revenue for Fortune 500 and private equity-backed technology companies. He spent ten years at IBM as Group General Manager where he led the end-to-end delivery of enterprise products and platforms for a diverse portfolio of global customers. In addition, he has held leadership roles at CA Technologies and Broadcom and worked as a special adviser to digital transformation company in the Digital AI we helped the senior leadership team devise the product and platform vision and strategy.
As chief growth officer James is responsible for driving strategic and operational initiatives to accelerate KX’s growth and for building the KX developer and user community across the world. He joined First Derivatives in 2009 and spent several years building front office trading and analytic platforms using KX technology, for many of the world’s largest financial institutions. He was subsequently appointed to several leadership positions including CTO and led the global expansion of the product and solution engineering teams through a combination of organic growth and the integration of strategic acquisitions. He holds an MSc in Quantitative Finance from the University College Dublin.
Daniel Seal joined KX in 2015 Prior to joining he spent the previous twelve years developing and running kdb+, market data and analytic systems for tier one banks in some of the world’s most demanding data environments, including Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch.

Joining KX in 2018 as a graduate engineer, Conor has worked within the KX Research and Development team for 5 years. His work has focused principally on two key areas, Data Science, and Interoperability.
Through the early stages of his time at KX this ranged from the creation of toolkits for machine learning engineers to get value from their data faster through, integrations with pub/sub mechanisms such as Kafka and the maintenance of interfaces to R and Python.
Conor now leads a team of 20 engineers within KX as technical lead for data science related innovations within the kdb Insights and kdb Insights Enterprise products. This work focusses on Python development through PyKX, development of innovations in streaming functionality via the Stream Processor, the deployment of Machine Learning models to production environment using embedded MLOps functionality and analytic management and deployment mechanisms for kdb Insights.

Nick wrote “Q Tips: Fast, Scalable and Maintainable Kdb+” based on his years of practical experience developing production trading systems in q. His second book, “Fun Q: A Functional Introduction to Machine Learning in Q”, uses the expressive q language to guide readers through implementing twelve machine learning algorithms from scratch.
