Early life

edit

Stata received his bachelor's and master's degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from MIT, where he also earned his Ph.D. in 1996, under adviser John Guttag.[1]

Stata's father, Ray Stata, was founder and chairman of Analog Devices.[2]

Career

edit

After finishing his Ph.D., Stata worked for Digital Equipment Corporation's Systems Research Center, where he contributed to the AltaVista search engine.[3] He was an assistant professor of Computer Science at the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz, and collaborated with the Internet Archive.[4][5]

In 2002, Stata founded Stata Laboratories. The company developed the Bloomba search-based e-mail client and the SAProxy anti-spam filter.[6][7]

Stata Labs was acquired by Yahoo! in 2004, for an undisclosed amount.[8][9][10] Stata continued working for Yahoo!, and in 2010, became the company's chief technology officer,[11] a position he held until he left the company in 2012.[12] With Yahoo!, Stata co-developed a composition model for cloud-hosted serving applications, for which he was granted a patent.[13] Stata was also involved early in Apache Hadoop, consulting with and eventually hiring its founders Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella at Yahoo!.[14][15]

After leaving Yahoo! in 2012, Stata founded Altiscale,[3] a company that provided Apache Hadoop-as-a-service marketed as "big data in the cloud".[16] Altiscale was named a Cool Vendor in Big Data by Gartner for 2015.[17][18] Stata was Altiscale's CEO until 2016, when the company was acquired by the software company SAP for more than $125 million.[19][20] Following SAP's acquisition, Stata became senior vice president of big data services for about a year.[21]

Since 2018, Stata was product and technology advisor for Aqfer, an enterprise software company developing data marketing tools.[22] Stata is on the board for technology companies Vanu[23] and Gamalon.[24]

Stata is on the advisory council for QuakeFinder, a research and development group focusing on earthquake prediction.[25] Until 2018, he was on the board of trustees for the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.[26]
