This strategic appointment underscores Qlik’s commitment to accelerating growth and innovation in the Middle-East and Africa region, a region poised to lead in the adoption of AI.
Qlik, a global leader in data integration, analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), has appointed Tejas Mehta as its new senior vice president (SVP) and GM for Middle East and Africa. This strategic move underscores Qlik’s commitment to accelerating growth and innovation in MEA, a region poised to lead in the adoption of AI.
“I am excited to join Qlik and lead the sales efforts in the Middle East and Africa,” Tejas said. “The region is at the forefront of AI adoption, and there is a significant demand for data and analytics foundations to support this transformation. I look forward to working with our talented team to help organisations harness the full potential of AI.”
According to Qlik, the Middle East and Africa is the fastest-growing region within the company’s Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) operations. Qlik’s investment in the region is designed to drive further expansion and solidify its leadership in AI and data analytics. As part of an organisational restructure, the MEA region will now operate as a standalone entity within the EMEA theatre.
Tejas brings more than 20 years of expertise in driving sales growth and expanding strategic markets in the technology sector. He has successfully led large, cross-functional teams across the Middle East, Africa and Europe. His deep knowledge of AI, data integration and analytics, along with his talent for aligning technical solutions with business objectives, uniquely positions him to spearhead Qlik’s regional initiatives.
Tejas holds a BSc in genetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as a master’s in public health (epidemiology) and an MBA in corporate finance and management information systems, both from the University of Illinois, Chicago.
