Nikhil leads GTM Strategy and Planning at ClickHouse. Before that, he was Senior Director of Strategy & Operations in the Office of the CEO at Databricks. There he partnered with the C-suite on GTM strategy, AI/data platform adoption, M&A integration, and international expansion across EMEA and the Middle East. He owned the company-wide OKR program and led the recent $1B Neon integration. Before Databricks, Nikhil spent ten years at LinkedIn driving GTM strategy across the customer lifecycle. He led a 3,000-person organizational transformation that unified account management, sales, customer success, and support. He also delivered $100M+ in incremental advertising revenue through AI-enabled GTM and self-serve transformation, created the customer-value framework that surfaced $200M+ in at-risk bookings, and served on the pre-acquisition strategy team for LinkedIn's $26B sale to Microsoft. Alongside this, he advised Stakes as fractional COO, and the company was later acquired by Infinite Reality, a $12B+ company.
