Reltio's Hockey Stick Growth: CRO Alyson Discusses the Journey to $185 Million ARR

Reltio crossed $185M in ARR and saw 58% growth in the second half of the year. That kind of acceleration in an enterprise platform signals strong market pull. At the DataDriven Conference 2026, I sat down with Alyson Welch, CRO of Reltio, to talk about what customers are actually asking for in the age of AI.

Alyson owns the full customer journey, from acquisition to support, and also leads the partner ecosystem. Her lens is simple. If the customer does not see value in their data, nothing else matters.

One insight stood out. Enterprises are drowning in applications. One former CIO shared she had 1,500 enterprise apps to manage. That means data is locked everywhere. The real demand today is not just dashboards or models. It is a trusted, unified data layer that sits between enterprise systems and AI.

That is where Reltio is focused. Bringing accuracy, trust, and unification so companies can actually use their data across environments.

We also discussed agentic workflows. In an agent-driven world, your data foundation cannot be average. Every automated decision depends on it. This is not just a tech shift. It is a cultural shift. Leaders now have to think about how humans and AI agents work together and how to build capability across both.

The momentum reflects this shift.

This conversation was about trust, scale, and what it really takes to lead in the AI era.
