Metabase was originally created as an internal tool by Expa’s former CTO Sameer Al-Sakran, to help our teams better access and understand their data. The product was so successful that Metabase spun out into its own company, with Al-Sakran at the helm as CEO. Now a widely-loved open-source product, Metabase has become one of the top-starred projects in GitHub and has been translated into over 20 languages.
