Mo Aidrus

Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer

As a two-time founder, and a long-time advocate for freeing trapped data value inside the enterprise, Mo spent 20+ years as Managing Director at Accenture and Rayn before setting out to build ekai. His goal was to fix three problems: the difficulty in accessing and exploring existing company data independently, not knowing the right numbers at the right time, and not being able to take full charge of data. Together with Hussnain, ekai is meant to be the ultimate data companion for business users to quickly test data-driven ideas without relying on busy IT teams.
