CData Software today announced the appointment of Raviv Levi as Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO), along with the additions of Amit Naik as Vice President of AI Architecture and Craig Sanchez as Senior Vice President of Embedded Sales. The executive appointments support CData’s continued momentum as organizations rethink how enterprise data is accessed, governed, and acted on, whether by people working through conversational AI or by autonomous agents operating across enterprise systems.
Levi joins CData from Sift, where he served as Chief Product and Technology Officer, following senior leadership roles at Cisco, including Vice President of Security Strategy and Innovation for Cisco’s Security Business Group. He has led product, cloud security, and platform initiatives focused on enterprise-scale infrastructure and AI-driven technologies.
As Vice President of AI Architecture, Naik will lead the design and evolution of CData’s AI architecture, working across product and engineering to ensure the platform meets the technical demands of enterprise AI deployments. He joins CData from Calix and previously held senior leadership roles in AI/ML solutions and infrastructure at PayPal, Financial Engines and Oracle.
Sanchez will lead CData’s embedded sales organization, helping software vendors and platform providers integrate enterprise-grade connectivity and AI data access directly into their products. He joins CData from Vectara and previously held senior sales and business development leadership roles at Elastic and Cloudera.
The appointments reflect growing enterprise demand for AI systems, both conversational and autonomous, that can securely operate across fragmented data environments while maintaining governance, auditability, and real-time access. CData’s customers include global organizations such as Adobe, Office Depot, GSK, UiPath, and Palantir.
