Kentik, the Network Intelligence platform, announced the hiring of seven new executives across engineering, product, sales, finance, and partnerships, as demand for AI solutions to design, manage, and optimize networks has spiked significantly. The decades of combined experience spans leading enterprises including Dell Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, Red Hat, SolarWinds, SentinelOne, Splunk and more.
“As AI infrastructure continues to fuel strong demand for Network Intelligence, we’ve assembled a world-class executive team to drive our strategy and growth,” said Avi Freedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Kentik. “networks are more complex and vital than ever, and with Kentik, enterprises and service providers can finally take control of their infrastructure to drive their business — and manage capacity, performance, cost, reliability, and security with confidence.”
The growing executive team at Kentik includes Chris Khadan, Chief Customer Officer; Jason McKerr, SVP of Engineering; Mav Turner, SVP of Product; Daniel Donovan, VP of Global Sales; Magnus Friberg, Chief Financial Officer; Steve Stover, VP of Product Marketing; and Ken Marks, VP of Channels and Alliances.
