Katie Ledecky, Olympic legend, will be keynote speaker at Qlik Connect 2025

Qlik also announces Katie Ledecky, nine-time Olympic gold medalist, as keynote speaker. Ledecky will convey a powerful message about how elite performance — whether in Olympic swimming or in business — requires a basically invisible yet essential preparation. Her perspective aligns with Qlik’s vision for AI: turning the rigorous work of data integration and analytics into continuous and impactful business outcomes.

“We are honored to have Katie Ledecky, the most decorated female Olympic athlete in the United States, take the main stage at Qlik Connect,” says Chris Powell, Qlik’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Katie’s story epitomizes the relentless preparation, teamwork, and precision needed to achieve extraordinary results. At Qlik, we see a strong parallel between her approach and the work required to unlock AI’s full potential in business, as significant outcomes are only possible with rigorous preparation behind the scenes.”

“Winning a gold medal may seem like an individual achievement, but behind every success is a team working tirelessly toward excellence,” says Katie Ledecky. “I am excited to share with the Qlik Connect audience my journey and the lessons I’ve learned, and how they can contribute to success in any field.”

Alongside Ledecky will be industry leaders who exemplify innovation through data:

– Harveer Singh, Chief Data Officer of Truist Bank: Harveer will share how Truist leverages Qlik solutions to drive their digital transformation journey, from enhancing data integration to building reliable AI-ready databases, essential for operational efficiency and future technology adoption.
