01/13/2025, Scottsdale AZ - Anavate Partners, an award-winning enterprise technology services firm based in Scottsdale, Arizona with elite consultants around the world, announced today that Mat Ezlakowski has joined the company as Head of its newly formed Data & AI Practice. With a proven track record of building and leading professional services teams in data, analytics, and AI space, Ezlakowski will help scale Anavate’s offerings as it enters a new phase of growth. 

“I'm confident Mat’s vision and leadership will not only foster an industry-leading partnership with Dataiku, but also accelerate Anavate’s already impressive growth trajectory,” said George Heiler, Partner at Anavate. “Mat’s experience from the beginnings of Dataiku in the US, laying the foundation for Dataiku’s implementation and professional services, to redefining the customer experience in Asia Pacific, aligns perfectly with Anavate's culture of innovation and collaboration.” 

Ezlakowski brings over 15 years of experience in technology strategy, data and analytics. He joins Anavate after nearly 7 years at Dataiku, where he led implementations in the US ensuring the success of Dataiku’s largest key customers. He then moved to Singapore to spearhead the company's expansion into Asia Pacific. Prior to Dataiku, Ezlakowski led delivery teams at Capgemini, DXC Technology, Paylocity and Comarch, working with clients across various industries.

Ezlakowski’s arrival follows Anavate Partners' recent strategic investment to expand its Data & AI practice, centered around Dataiku’s cutting-edge platform. Anavate sees Dataiku at the forefront of innovation, providing the best platform for AI — including enterprise readiness for Generative AI — and aims to replicate its success with Anaplan in the analytics space. Between Anaplan, Workato and now Dataiku, Anavate continues to invest in providing their customers only the best SaaS solutions for the modern enterprise.

“I’m honored to join Anavate Partners and excited by the opportunity to shape the firm’s future while building an organization around such a fantastic platform,” said Ezlakowski. “I’ve seen firsthand the significant shift in how organizations view AI and their excitement over recent advancements. At the same time, many still struggle to implement data-driven solutions, take first steps in AI, and achieve measurable ROI. With Anavate’s culture of constant innovation, powered by Dataiku’s platform, I’m thrilled we’ll bring Everyday AI to our customers.”
