Venkat Viswanathan is chairman and founder of LatentView Analytics, a global digital analytics consulting and solutions firm. Venkat’s vision came to life in 2006 when he founded the company, well before the world caught on about the complexity and power of using large data sets to influence critical business decisions. This is when he noticed an emerging opportunity in the analytics industry and decided to venture into entrepreneurship. Before launching LatentView, Venkat was a successful Manager of Business Development at Cognizant Technology Solutions.
