Thrilled to be working at Datadog in New York City as the Sr. Director of Cloud Alliances. Being at a company where I believe in both the product and people is something that is truly priceless. Datadog was built from scratch for cloud, microservices, containers, autoscaling, open source and all the cutting-edge technology that is allowing companies like AirBnB, Capital One, Zendesk, Verizon and Peloton to enable DevOps teams to innovate and safely release new capabilities every day. Datadog provides an advantage to these companies by helping them avoid problems, as well as find and fix issues before they can affect the customer experience. One of our most compelling arguments for Datadog is the quick time to value. Datadog helps leading organizations around the world reduce the risk of cloud migrations, improve agility & time to market, reduce costs of outages/performance issues, and provide full visibility into their stack--all in a single, beautifully designed platform that is designed to be used by 1000's of concurrent users creating a culture of observability. Plus, it’s easy to stand up, fun to use, and contains over 600 out of the box integrations. Super proud of where I came from...I started software programming when I was 14 years old, and never looked back. When I’m not geeking out, I enjoy Yoga, Chocolate (weakness!), Lake George, NY, The Yankees, Comedy (all kinds especially Seinfeld/The Honeymooner quotes!), Antique Maps (they tell wonderful stories) and Traveling the World. My new year’s resolution is to do more with Girls in Tech.
