We’re thrilled to welcome Damon to DataRobot as we continue our rapid innovation and growth across all industries, geographies, and market segments.”

Fletcher holds a Masters of Accounting degree from the University of Florida and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of North Florida. He resides in Seattle, WA.
“I’ve been following DataRobot for years, and have long-admired the breadth of their platform, their focus on data-driven insights and decisions, and the game-changing results they consistently deliver to customers,” said Fletcher. “To join the DataRobot team as CFO, particularly at this moment of explosive growth for the company, is a tremendous opportunity.”
