Who is the CEO of Sisense?

Ariel Katz has led Sisense as CEO since April 2023, promoted from chief product and technology officer. He succeeded Amir Orad, who served from 2015.

What is Sisense Intelligence?

Sisense Intelligence is the generative AI suite launched in May 2025, adding AI assistants, a Model Context Protocol server, and managed LLM options to the analytics platform. It earned ISO/IEC 42001 certification in April 2026.

Where is Sisense based?

Sisense is headquartered in New York City with its development center in the Tel Aviv area of Israel, plus operations across Europe and other regions.

Five Israeli engineers founded Sisense in 2004 in Tel Aviv, building on in-chip analytics technology that used CPU cache to run large queries on ordinary hardware. That made business intelligence viable for mid-market companies who could not afford enterprise BI.

The company raised outside capital starting around 2010 and expanded into the US, where its commercial headquarters eventually settled in New York while engineering stayed in Israel, the classic structure for Israeli enterprise software.

Amir Orad took over as CEO in 2015 and ran the company through its biggest transitions: Sisense 6.0 and 7.0 scaled the platform and added machine learning, the 2019 Periscope Data acquisition brought a cloud-native product and data-team audience, and the 2020 Insight-led round marked the billion-dollar valuation.

Orad merged Sisense with data-integration vendor Perceptyx-era assets through the 2019 union that briefly paired Sisense and Periscope under one group, then focused the company on the embedded analytics lane. Ariel Katz, formerly chief product and technology officer, succeeded him as CEO in April 2023.

Under Katz the company rebranded as an Analytics Platform as a Service and moved fast on AI: Sisense Intelligence launched in May 2025, the Model Context Protocol server and managed LLM options followed in 2026, and ISO/IEC 42001 AI management certification arrived in April 2026.

Sisense has appeared in Gartner and Dresner embedded analytics evaluations and won SIIA CODiE and other product awards for embedded BI. Its April 2026 ISO/IEC 42001 certification for AI management is an early compliance differentiator in the analytics category.

Sisense has no material public controversies or regulatory record. The company's history includes a 2023 reported data incident that prompted coordinated customer credential resets, handled as a security event rather than a legal finding.
