Mihai Vinaga steps up to CEO of Veridion
The CTO who built Veridion’s data engine is now its CEO. Mihai Vinaga’s next job: getting that data into more hands.
Mihai Vinaga, one of Veridion's founders and its CTO since day one, is the company's new CEO. He takes over from Florin Tufan.
Mihai oversaw the building of the data engine behind everything Veridion sells, from how the data is collected to how it is matched and enriched. That engine now reads 1.4 billion web pages a month. Nobody at the company knows the product better.
The next phase: more complex data products, for more customers
Since 2019, Veridion has been building the most complete data on the world's companies. Today that's 693 million companies across the entire planet. That foundation is in place, and what customers need is changing.
- Clients are embedding Veridion data into their own systems and workflows. That unlocks new use cases, and those need custom data points.
- AI workflows run on company data, and most of what's out there is wrong or stale. Veridion's data is refreshed continuously, with a source and a confidence score on every field.
- The plan is to get Veridion's data into more hands: more enterprise customers, a self-serve way in for everyone else, and going deeper with existing customers.
Five years ago there were six of us in a small apartment in Bucharest. Florin turned that into a best-in-class data company with best-in-class clients, and I'm grateful to him for it.
I wish I could name our clients. They're some of the sharpest data teams out there, and Veridion data now runs inside their credit models, supply chains and AI systems. I look forward to continuing these amazing collaborations.
I've worked on this product since the first day. Now my job is to get it into more hands, make sure the customers already using it get more out of it, and get Veridion ready as an organisation for that kind of growth.
Nothing changes for customers
Customers keep the same team, the same product and the same people they already work with.
If your company data still isn't AI-ready, clean and fresh, talk to Veridion. Mihai's inbox is open: mihai@veridion.com.
