The company is planning to double its headcount in 2020 and recently moved into its new SOMA headquarters at 535 Mission Street in San Francisco.

The company names large enterprises like Samsung and Upwork as customers.
“Despite all the data enterprises collect, most companies are forced to make decisions based on limited understanding of what’s actually driving change in their business,” said Peter Bailis, CEO and Founder at Sisu. “I’m thrilled to see the enthusiastic response from our customers so far, and I’m proud to welcome Berit Hoffmann and Bryan Hamblin to the team. Their experience and leadership will help accelerate our mission to inform every decision with data. ”
Sisu Bolsters Executive Team
To further accelerate growth and capture the market momentum towards operational analytics, Sisu is adding two key executives to the team:
Berit Hoffmann joined in January as Vice President of Product. Prior to joining Sisu, Berit led product for Google Hire and Google Cloud Talent Solution. At Sisu, Berit will be responsible for guiding the company’s product vision, roadmap, and execution.

At Sisu, our mission is to help every enterprise finally get answers to their toughest business questions and I’m excited to join this strong team in pursuit of that goal.”
