Basis Technology CEO Carl Hoffman said Biow had "the right balance of government and commercial experience, technical depth, and character we were looking to add to our senior management team. And he shares the same commitment to customers that is core to our company values."

"For 15 years I've been heavily involved in text and search, while working for the public sector, at MongoDB, MarkLogic, and Verity. I've watched Basis Technology evolve and grow into the recognized thought leader in multilingual text analytics," Biow said. "It's exciting now to join the team, knowing how well our solutions apply machine learning to meet the challenges of text analysis, name matching, and cyber forensics.
