Vice President of Public Sector, Alteryx

Kevin Woo’s biggest recent achievement was leading the public sector team to become the fastest-growing vertical at Alteryx. His next major milestone will be achieving FedRAMP in 2026. Once authorization is secured, Alteryx will deliver a truly hybrid solution that meets agencies wherever they are in their cloud journey.

Alteryx supports federal cost-reduction and efficiency goals by automating manual data processes, reducing labor hours and improving accuracy. The platform streamlines operations through self-service analytics that break down data silos and speed decision-making. It also boosts government efficiency by enabling faster audits, stronger oversight and predictive modeling for better resource allocation.

“Alteryx is committed to enabling breakthroughs and accelerating insights across the public sector’s most critical data,” said Derek Bates, SVP of the Americas at Alteryx. “Kevin’s team fulfills that mission by helping agencies at every level realize the full potential of their data. Kevin’s passion is infectious, and his mission driven approach aligns well to the market he serves.”

Why Watch

Woo’s team is focused on helping agencies transform fragmented, legacy and siloed data into AI-ready datasets that support mission outcomes without requiring advanced coding skills. The Alteryx platform automates data preparation, governance and validation so agencies can feed trusted data into secure and compliant AI models. The goal is to help federal, state and local organizations deploy responsible AI faster, reduce risk and unlock greater value from existing data investments.

“What we’ve built at Alteryx is truly exceptional, and our Public Sector team takes great pride in serving this mission-driven market,” Woo said. “We operate with a no-fail mindset because our customers’ missions depend on it.”

Fun fact: This summer, Woo experienced his first concert at Red Rocks as the Beach Boys performed, a bucket-list moment he shared with his wife, three kids and his parents.
