SingleStore Stands With Our Environment
Yesterday, the world reacted to a move by the U.S. President to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Almost immediately, voices across America responded with a resounding commitment to maintain alignment with the Paris climate agreement recommendations.
With the energy sector at the center of this conversation, the industry needs more help from technology companies than ever before. Today, the ability to see operations in real time, and have an immediate view on the state of their businesses, is critical in the effective use of energy.
With the support of technology companies, leading energy providers are now able to reduce carbon emissions via smart meters in households, improve the efficiency of environmentally responsible production, and view metrics that help optimize mix fuels such as natural gas, which have some of the lowest carbon emissions of any fossil fuel on a per-unit basis.
There are many people and companies across the world looking to improve our global environmental standing, and we know there is a long way to go. SingleStore salutes you and stands with you to protect our environment.
Eric Frenkiel and Nikita Shamgunov, SingleStore Founders

Welcome Jerry Held as SingleStore Executive Chairman
At SingleStore, we have always respected the challenges the computing industry has tackled in the past. It is no easy feat to build formidable technology companies, and when it happens, we look on with admiration.
It is in that spirit that we are thrilled to welcome Jerry Held as Executive Chairman of SingleStore. Jerry’s experience in technology across computing and database technology is unparalleled. A consummate technology innovator and entrepreneur, he has helped create new database technologies and new companies, beginning with pioneering work to build the INGRES database during his time at U.C. Berkeley, and then Tandem, where he built it from a startup to reaching over $2 billion in annual revenues. He ran Oracle’s server products division during a growth period from $1.5 billion to \$6 billion in annual revenues. He served as “CEO-in-residence” at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. He served as lead director of Business Objects until its sale to SAP, and was executive chairman of Vertica until its sale to HP. Today he serves as the chairman of Tamr and on the boards of Informatica, NetApp, Kalio and Copia Global.

To achieve our objectives, we have surrounded ourselves with the best and brightest in the industry, in turn delivering our customers easy access to database innovation. Jerry epitomizes the talent and experience we continue to seek at SingleStore.
As we continue the expansion of our business and world-class product, we look forward to Jerry’s participation in reshaping the real-time database landscape. Welcome, Jerry!
