Making Data Transformation a Breeze with Armon Petrossian, CEO & Co-Founder of Coalesce

Hashmap on Tap Ep. 125

“The more complex the data, the better fit they are for Coalesce.”
- Armon Petrossian, CEO and Co-Founder at Coalesce

When you have your raw data, how much time is spent taking it from its raw state to being consumable, accurate, and governed? If you thought “too much time”, you’re not alone! Many organizations struggle with preparing data properly at scale, and Coalesce is passionate about solving this problem.

Coalesce is a code-first, GUI-driven data transformation solution that is architected for scale, is column aware, has native git integration, and provides automated documentation. On a recent episode of Hashmap on Tap, Armon Petrossian, CEO & Co-Founder of Coalesce, joined host Kelly Kohlleffel to chat about how they’re solving this problem, especially with their partnerships with Snowflake and Fivetran.

Before we get further into the data world, we must discuss what’s on tap for this episode. Armon is doubling up with the same combination he enjoys on most weekday mornings, a black coffee and a Spindrift. Kelly also chose to double up, but with Bulletproof coffee and decaf Nespresso.

Armon first noticed the problem that came with data transformation during his time at WhereScape, which is actually where he met his Coalesce Co-Founder, Satish! They were exposed to data warehouses on a grand scale and noticed that a common problem among all of these different organizations was their data transformation. When leaving their roles, they knew what the market needed, and they got to work on making it happen.

Check out the episode to hear more about their time in stealth building Coalesce and what their ideal customer would be!

Hear Armon’s perspectives on:

  • Why Coalesce’s integration with Snowflake was a must
  • How more departments in more organizations have data people on their teams
  • How quickly anyone can be productive with Coalesce
  • The importance of creating a company culture that will not just get people to join the team, but to stay and grow with it
  • His favorite Italian restaurant in North Beach and what dish he recommends
