About Simon Overton

Confluent is pioneering a new category of data infrastructure, based on Apache Kafka & Flink, which enables companies to leverage real time, event based data required for the digital first world. Apache Kafka was developed by LinkedIn to solve the problem of handling their rapid growth in user activity and the massive amounts of data generated in real-time. Traditional messaging systems, ETL and databases were not able to handle the scale and speed of data ingestion and processing required. This is why Kafka is now used by some of the largest digital natives such as LinkedIn, Uber, Netflix and Airbnb.Confluent was founded by the creators of Apache Kafka with the mission to help companies leverage real-time data and we are the leading experts in data streaming and stream processing. We deliver data streaming infrastructure for the modern enterprise with the goal of providing the best data streaming experience both on-prem and in the cloud. This helps our customers bring products to market faster, reduce costs and mitigate risks. Having worked in the Data & Analytics space for nearly 20 years, I have the privilege to lead Confluents UK Enterprise Business. A team that is proud of our values of "Earning our customers love", being fired up to "Get Stuff Done" and working as "One team".
