BigGeo is The Spatial Cloud — the infrastructure that lets any team store, query, and act on spatial data at any scale, without the overhead of traditional GIS engineering.
For too long, working with location data meant expensive GIS teams, bespoke infrastructure, and six-month integration timelines. We built BigGeo to change that.
Our platform gives any developer, analyst, or operator direct access to the world's spatial data — through a single credit economy, a clean API, and a marketplace of ready-to-query datasets. No specialist required.
We help companies manage and access the world's spatial data — any size, any slice, any insight — delivered in seconds.
Watch: What is BigGeo?
Six values guide every product decision, hire, and customer conversation.
We constantly explore new ways to advance geospatial data management — embracing change and continuous improvement as a default, not a project.
Open communication, teamwork, and partnerships. We believe the best solutions come from shared knowledge and genuinely diverse perspectives.
The highest standards of ethical behaviour, honesty, and transparency — in our products, our data handling, and every relationship we build.
We set the benchmark for what spatial infrastructure should look like. Good enough is a starting point, not a finish line.
Long-term viability over short-term growth. We build solutions that hold up across time — for our customers, our communities, and the planet.
We invest in people. Inside BigGeo and through our platform, we create real opportunities for individuals to do meaningful work at scale.
Operators, scientists, and engineers who've spent careers solving real problems with location data.
Watch Brent's intro
Brent founded BigGeo with a clear thesis: spatial data is foundational infrastructure, and it's been unnecessarily hard to access for too long. He leads with a builder's mindset — direct, practical, and focused on removing friction from how teams work with location data.
Brett brings operational depth and commercial focus to everything BigGeo ships. From marketplace structure to enterprise relationships, he ensures what we build translates into real-world outcomes for the teams depending on it.

Watch Jenna's intro
With 15+ years building revenue engines for complex SaaS and technology companies, Jenna Pipchuk has built her career on one thing: growth that actually scales. Known for her work in Harvard Business Review on the Unified Commercial Engine, she's helped redefine how modern organizations align sales, marketing, and customer experience into a single system. Now as Chief Growth Officer at BigGeo, she's bringing that playbook, plus hands-on experience as an AI-first CEO in edtech, to a new frontier: making spatial data accessible to every decision-maker.
Watch James's intro
25+ years in enterprise tech. Microsoft. AWS. Large-scale infrastructure. James Cuff has seen how data works today and where it falls short. At BigGeo, he’s helping change that. From dynamic pricing to global data distribution, the platform is opening new markets for data partners and making complex datasets easier to access, govern, and monetize. And with new capabilities rolling out and global traction growing, the momentum is real.
Watch Arden's intro
With 30+ years across management consulting, venture capital, and executive leadership, Arden has operated at every stage of business, from early ideas to large-scale enterprise execution. He has led transformations across North America and Europe, implemented national cloud systems, and helped turn concepts into operational companies. At BigGeo, he sees a clear inflection point: Data is evolving beyond static information into spatial intelligence. And the companies that understand that shift will lead the way in what comes next.
Watch Emily's intro
Emily MacKinnon joined BigGeo without a traditional tech background, but found a team that saw something in her before she saw it in herself. Since then, she’s grown into Chief of Staff, working across every part of the business and helping shape how the company operates day to day. Now, she’s part of building Nexus, technology that will redefine how BigGeo scales, while keeping its people at the center. A full-circle story of trust, growth, and building something that matters.
Watch Faramarz's intro
For over 60 years, geospatial systems have relied on layers and approximations. Faramarz Samavati took a different path. Treating Earth as a continuous, interconnected system and organizing it into a structure that scales from global views down to sub-centimeter precision. At BigGeo, this work forms part of the foundation behind how spatial data is structured, accessed, and activated at scale. This isn’t just about visualization. It’s about enabling the next generation of applications in which AI can finally work with spatial data in real time.
Watch Jordan's intro
You don’t build great products by guessing. Jordan McCarthy’s approach is grounded in understanding where customers are today, what they actually need, and how to build something that improves their entire experience, not just one part of it. That means thinking beyond features. It is about building with care and making sure every layer, from data control to performance to usability, works together as one cohesive product. At BigGeo, that mindset shows up in how products are built. Well rounded, high quality, and designed to deliver real value from start to finish.
Watch Prashant's intro
Prashant’s career spans some of Canada’s most important geospatial initiatives, from national mapping programs to satellite infrastructure and federal data platforms. As a long-standing expert in geospatial science, his work has helped shape how Canada builds and uses spatial data. Today, he continues that work at BigGeo, helping drive the future of spatial technology.
We're building the infrastructure layer that makes location data as easy to query as a spreadsheet — for teams of any size, across every industry, anywhere in the world. The Spatial Cloud is just getting started.
