Eric Frenkiel: Providing Solutions for a Data-Driven World

The world is becoming more and more reliant on data. The faster we get the data, the better. Businesses also benefit more from real-time data processing and analysis. This is why in 2011, Erik Frenkiel co-founded MemSQL with the company’s CTO Nikita Shamgunov. The company is a tech start up that deals with databases and data processing in real-time. As CEO of MemSQL, Frenkiel has received recognition from big business media companies such as Forbes which listed him in their list of 30 Under 30 in Technology for two consecutive years (2011 and 2012)

Before co-founding MemSQL, Frenkiel worked for Facebook as a partner engineer. He isn’t a stranger to this line of work as he had taken on engineering and sales engineering roles for other consumer and enterprise startup companies in the past.

Frenkiel is a graduate of the Stanford University’s School of Engineering with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management Science and Engineering.
