Frisco Analytics Announces Jared Hillam as Chief Executive Officer

‍

19 August 2026

Frisco Analytics is pleased to announce Jared Hillam as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective August 16, 2026.

Jared brings 25 years of experience in data and enterprise software, with a career focused on building products within consulting organizations and turning technology into practical value for enterprise customers. His experience spans data management, technology transformation, consulting, platform modernization, and product development.

During his stint at LakeFusion, Jared brought the operational background to plan the boundaries between the organizations with Vikas Punna, Frisco Analytics’ Board Director, including building agentic systems to accelerate both organizations. As they completed that operational separation, Jared was appointed CEO of Frisco Analytics .

His career has also included several years at Intricity, where he worked across data management and technology initiatives and created Intricity101, a data management education series. He later led the go-to-market for BladeBridge, helping bring the product to market and into Accenture before its eventual acquisition by Databricks. The technology now exists within Databricks as Lakebridge, helping organizations migrate ETL and database workloads to Databricks.

What drew Jared to Frisco was its go-to-market model: a product-led approach to growing a consulting business. Frisco Analytics developed LakeFusion on Databricks and used the product as an engine for growing its consulting practice. Jared sees that model as a foundation that can be applied repeatedly across future products, combining technology, consulting expertise, and the platforms customers already use. 

With the initial investment in LakeFusion now moving beyond its launch phase, Frisco Analytics is entering the next stage of that strategy. The company is focused on helping customers move beyond acquiring and implementing the product to building broader practices that deliver sustained value. At the same time, Frisco Analytics is continuing to grow its Databricks practice and use its expertise with LakeFusion to support larger and more strategic Databricks deployments.

The strategy also extends beyond LakeFusion. Frisco Analytics' product development team will continue building enterprise-grade applications designed to help organizations unlock greater value from the data they already have within Databricks, without requiring that data to be moved outside the platform. By continuing to develop products that connect naturally with the platforms its customers already use, Frisco Analytics aims to create new opportunities for both its consulting practice and its technology partnerships.

As CEO, Jared will lead Frisco Analytics through this next phase with a continued focus on LakeFusion, Databricks, product development, and the company's product-led consulting model. His appointment brings together his experience in data and product development with Frisco Analytics' approach to building technology that can strengthen its consulting practice and create greater value for customers.

“Frisco is committed to supporting LakeFusion while planning and executing more platform-channel innovations that drive value for our customers. We're excited to fully realize the investment we've made in LakeFusion, and to invest in new products using the same methodology, building more value with every product. We see this as a superior way to invest in our partnerships: it gives us quick access to customers in the trusted locations where their data already resides.”

— Jared Hillam, Chief Executive Officer, Frisco Analytics
