TileDB Rebrands as Tile.ai with New CEO Amid Late-Stage Investment

TileDB has rebranded as Tile.ai and appointed George Llado as its new chief executive officer. This move comes after the company secured a late-stage strategic investment led by existing investor Two Bear Capital, with participation from Amgen Ventures.

The funding will accelerate product development, go-to-market efforts, and deployment to early adopters in regulated sectors. Two Bear Capital increased its existing investment, while Amgen Ventures is the corporate venture arm of biotechnology firm Amgen.

Tavros Papadopoulos, founder and former CEO for nine years, returns full-time as chief product officer after customers spent the last two years asking how to make their data usable by AI safely, 'where it already lives, and without losing control of who can see what.'
