Zetaris, the Open Agentic Lakehouse company, has bolstered its leadership team with two major appointments as it pushes into North American and international markets. Ashish Bhagat joins as Chief Financial Officer, bringing over 25 years of executive experience in financial strategy and global operations, most recently as COO at Hitachi Vantara. Phil Vadon steps in as Chief Revenue Officer, with a track record that includes scaling a financial services business to more than $400 million in revenue and helping build a managed services and cloud business to over $1 billion in bookings — both alongside Bhagat at Hitachi Vantara.

The appointments come at a pivotal moment for enterprise AI, with hyperscalers pouring hundreds of billions into AI infrastructure and demand growing for platforms that allow AI agents to access and activate data without complex duplication or movement — precisely what Zetaris is built to deliver. CEO Vinay Samuel described the hires as giving Zetaris the firepower to take its platform to every market in the world.
