Paolo Platter
Biography
Paolo Platter is one of the earliest pioneers of Data Mesh adoption in Europe. Since 2019, he has led large-scale Data Mesh implementations across major enterprises, guiding both the organizational transition and the technical foundations needed to make decentralization sustainable.
He authored the world’s first Data Product Specification, establishing a formal and repeatable way to define, design, and govern data products. Building on this work, in 2021 he created Witboost, the first platform entirely dedicated to Data Product Management and computational governance—now adopted by leading global enterprises to scale ownership, quality, and interoperability across their data ecosystems.
Today, Paolo continues to advance the discipline of Data Product Management, shaping industry practices and helping organizations transform how they build, govern, and operate data products at scale.
