“I’m incredibly excited to join ClickHouse at such a pivotal time,” said Egan. “As organizations navigate how to compete and thrive in the AI era, ClickHouse is emerging as the de facto database powering the real-time, scalable analytics that AI-driven applications demand. I look forward to building strong relationships not only with forward-thinking customers, but also with our channel and technology partners—working together to help businesses modernize their data infrastructure and unlock transformative outcomes with this foundational technology.”

Egan brings diverse experience scaling companies to $1B and beyond. He served most recently as Chief Sales Officer at Atlassian, overseeing global sales strategy across a multi-product portfolio. He previously held senior sales leadership roles at Salesforce, where he spent ten years helping drive global enterprise growth, and at Dropbox, where he played a key role in expanding into enterprise markets, and at Slack, where he led North American sales.

Egan’s appointment follows ClickHouse’s $350 million Series C funding round, with participation from new and existing investors, which brought the company’s valuation to $6.35 billion. The investment is supporting the expansion of ClickHouse Cloud, the company’s fully managed service, which grew over 300% during the past year and now serves over 2,000 customers across a range of industries from fintech and transportation to consumer and healthcare.

In May 2025, ClickHouse hosted its inaugural user conference, Open House, where organizations such as Tesla, OpenAI, and Anthropic shared how they use ClickHouse to analyze petabytes of data in real time. The event reflected ClickHouse’s growing presence in critical, large-scale production environments.

“I am absolutely thrilled to work with Kevin again. Having known him for over 20 years, Kevin’s proven ability to scale enterprise sales at leading software companies makes him an invaluable addition to the leadership team at our current stage of growth,” shared Aaron Katz, ClickHouse CEO. “He excels at cultivating trusted customer relationships, building world-class teams, and driving sustainable go-to-market motions. His expertise is exactly what ClickHouse needs as we continue to expand and operate at a larger scale.”
