Culture at ThoughtSpot isn't something we put on a poster. It's visible in how we actually operate—the calls we make under pressure, how we show up for each other, and the instinct to put customers first even when it's hard.
Selfless Excellence has always been the standard. It's our driving force; a reminder that dreaming bigger, moving faster, and winning is who we are. The Icon Awards put names and faces to that standard by recognizing Spotters who don't just deliver, but raise the bar for everyone around them.
Here's what our Q4 2026 winners had to say:
Trust Award: Paul Froggatt, Director, Technical Architects
“I’m incredibly grateful, proud, and humbled to receive the [Trust Award].
For me, trust is about being dependable, honest and supportive, but also about creating an environment where people feel comfortable being themselves, speaking openly and knowing they can rely on you.
I believe trust is something that’s built through the small things we do consistently over time, such as keeping your word, showing up for others, listening, and doing the right thing even when it’s not always the easiest option. It’s a value I genuinely try to live by every day, both in how I work with others and the relationships I build.
I’m especially grateful to the people who have placed their trust in me, and to everyone who took the time to vote for me and made this recognition possible. This one means a lot. Thank you!”
Customer Obsession Award: Karli Onofrio, Associate Marketing Manager
“Winning the [Customer Obsession Award] means so much to me. I’ve always found a lot of fulfillment in helping others, building relationships, and celebrating their success.
My background in psychology has shaped the way I approach those relationships, with empathy, curiosity, and a focus on understanding what people need. The Champions Program has given me the opportunity to bring all of that together while learning from and building meaningful relationships with our customers.
It’s really special to be recognized for work that I genuinely love doing.”
Innovation Award: Mayank Sinha, Head of Industry & Business Value Consulting
“I’m thrilled and humbled to receive the ThoughtSpot Innovation Icon Award. Meaningful innovation bridges the gap between great ideas and real impact, and being recognized for building sales tools that enable our sales teams' success and industry solutions that accelerate customer value is deeply rewarding.
For me, it also reinforces why pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo is always worth the effort.
This achievement reflects a true collective effort, and I want to express my heartfelt thanks to my team—your hard work, brilliant ideas, and collaboration made this possible.”
Intensity Award: Gemma Brown, Senior Events Marketing Manager
“Winning the Q4 FY26 Icon Award for Intensity within my first six months at ThoughtSpot means the world to me.
It's an incredible honour to have my effort and dedication recognised so early, and a huge compliment to know the sacrifices I've made to deliver my best results haven't gone unnoticed. I couldn't have imagined joining a company where I'd feel this valued.
To be appreciated in such a big and personal way was amazing and I felt so proud. Best company ever!”
