TileDB rebrands as Tile.ai, names new CEO and secures strategic investment

TileDB has rebranded as Tile.ai and launched its Enterprise AI Data Substrate, a governed data layer in private preview designed to let AI agents securely discover, access, and use sensitive enterprise data where it resides without requiring migrations or weakening existing controls. The platform addresses data fragmentation across instruments, files, databases, and cloud services, particularly in regulated industries such as life sciences, while preserving lineage, reproducibility, and governance. George Llado, a former CIO at Merck and Alexion Pharmaceuticals and TileDB board member, becomes CEO, while founder Stavros Papadopoulos transitions from CEO to Chief Product Officer to focus on product and vision. Tile.ai also announced strategic financing led by existing investor Two Bear Capital, with participation from Amgen Ventures, to support product development, market expansion, and deployments with early adopters. The open-source TileDB array engine will continue operating under its existing name.
