Mountain View, California  — November 4, 2025 — ThoughtSpot, the Agentic Analytics Platform company, today announced the appointment of Jochen Olbrich as Country Manager for Central EMEA. A proven leader from Microsoft and LinkedIn, Olbrich will accelerate the company’s expansion in the DACH and Eastern European markets. This appointment reinforces ThoughtSpot’s commitment to expanding its market leadership and delivering customer outcomes in the DACH and Eastern European regions and beyond.

Olbrich is a visionary, entrepreneurial, and results-driven go-to-market (GTM) leader with over 20 years of experience, including a proven track record of scaling revenues and building high-performance teams for start-ups, scale-ups, and large enterprises across diverse industries. His career journey includes leadership roles at major corporations like Microsoft and LinkedIn, followed by a transition to scaling startups and scale-ups.

The appointment comes as ThoughtSpot experiences significant momentum in the Central EMEA region, with over 180% growth over the last 12 months. This forward trajectory is marked by key customer acquisitions in FY25, including GetSafe and MIDAS Pharma, along with deepened partnerships with existing accounts like ServiceOcean and Verivox. ThoughtSpot has also strategically expanded its go-to-market partner ecosystem with firms such as M2 and Infomotion in Germany and Revolt BI in Eastern Europe, a network essential for supporting continued regional expansion.

"We've seen incredible momentum in the Central EMEA region over the past year, and Jochen's appointment is a direct reflection of our commitment to accelerating that growth,” said James Smith, SVP of EMEA at ThoughtSpot.
