Interview In December, MariaDB floated on the New York Stock Exchange via the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Angel Pond Holdings. With the move came $104 million in funding and $18 million through private investment in public equity.
This represented a staging post in a long journey for MariaDB, which launched its first product in 2009. Leading the company since 2015, CEO Michael Howard has more than 30 years of experience in the software industry, including stints at Oracle, EMC, Information Builders, and Greenplum.
