Dr Nick Golovin, a PhD in computer science, spent several years leading multinational data integration projects in international companies. He realised that the existing tools for data integration and management were not sufficient to keep pace with constantly changing business requirements. This realisation, combined with the experience of eight years of university research, motivated him to found Data Virtuality. Data Virtuality has been part of CData since April 2024. Dr Golovin plays a key role in the further development of the solution formerly known as the Data Virtuality Platform, which is now called CData Virtuality.
