“The observability industry is growing quickly in response to the increased demand for visibility into how systems and applications operate.

The addition of these key executives to our leadership team helps bolster our innovation, agility, and market dominance in this space,” says Clint Sharp, CEO and Co-Founder of Cribl.
Prior to Cribl, Cavanaugh spent the last seven years at AppDynamics in Singapore leading the Asia Pacific and Japan organization, and was a Vice President at EMC beforehand.

Wade joins Cribl most recently from Tricentis, with prior stints at AppDynamics and Cloudgenix where he led worldwide systems engineering teams. Wade adds a depth of technical expertise in enterprise software that will strengthen the technical go-to-market team.
