Under new leadership, Alteryx’s enterprise-grade analytics platform will serve as an AI Data Clearinghouse for clean, well governed data to power AI applications and agents
IRVINE, Calif. — May 14, 2025 – Alteryx, Inc., a leading AI and data analytics company, unveiled its vision for the future of AI-powered analytics, aimed at solving one of the biggest barriers to enterprise AI success: the lack of accurate, governed data. Under the company’s new leadership and vision, Alteryx will lean into its nearly 30 years of experience as an award-winning leader in data prep and analytics to roll out its updated organizational direction as the enterprise platform for data driven AI workflows and agents, including an AI Data Clearinghouse for ensuring transparency and visibility around data usage in AI. Powered by the Alteryx One platform, auditable and governed workflows ensure trusted, AI-ready data is fed into AI applications.
According to Gartner, over half of organizations are delaying AI projects due to data quality concerns, and 60% of AI initiatives fail to meet expectations due to poor data quality and a lack of governance. These challenges underscore the need for a rigorous approach to managing AI data, ensuring its integrity and trustworthiness. As organizations continue to invest in generative AI and advanced machine learning, the success of these investments increasingly relies on having access to high-quality AI-ready data.
“Enterprises are facing a perfect storm of siloed data sources and an increasing demand to capitalize on the demand for AI,” said Andy MacMillan, CEO at Alteryx. “For decades, companies have built extensive data assets to use in enterprise applications. Today, that data is the fuel that will power AI tools. Yet, that can’t happen without clean and accurate data. That is why Alteryx is doubling down on transforming Alteryx One into the AI Data Clearinghouse for enterprises. We are ensuring organizations have the resources to get their data ready for AI use and can bring their data and AI together in a transparent and governable way.”
Central to the AI Data Clearinghouse approach is workflow governance. Every data process, whether anonymizing PII, ensuring GDPR compliance, or removing proprietary IP, is auditable and requires approval from the legal and compliance teams. Alteryx supports the business users who best understand the data and prepare it for AI while ensuring proper governance before it enters the AI system. This gives the reassurance that the organization can generate trusted outputs to fuel enterprise-wide AI initiatives.

Alteryx recently expanded its executive leadership team to spearhead its next phase of growth. Andy MacMillan joined the company as Chief Executive Officer in December 2024, bringing over two decades of experience in enterprise software leadership, including roles at UserTesting, Act-On Software, Salesforce, Oracle, and Stellent. Additional executive leadership hires include Nali Giliana as Chief Strategy Officer, Jon Pexton as Chief Financial Officer, Steven Birdsall as Chief Revenue Officer, and Ben Canning as Chief Product Officer.

As organizations face new challenges of managing growing volumes of data, the new Alteryx One platform acts as an AI Data Clearinghouse, centralizing, orchestrating, and preparing data to be clean, trusted, and ready for AI applications at scale.
