Onum

"Although most had never heard of it before last week, it’s now obvious to everyone that CrowdStrike’s software is deeply woven into the fabric of our society. One botched update disrupted healthcare, grounded flights, and stalled businesses worldwide — despite affecting less than 1% of all Windows devices. But in these so-called ‘unprecedented’ times, it’s comforting to know that when it comes to security and safety — cyber or otherwise — most challenges are, in fact, precedented. In fact, throughout history, safety mechanisms have always revealed a fundamental flaw, which is then remedied with the right technology and philosophical approach." Take a trip with Henry Mason as he looks at preparing for 'unprecedented' events.

I have some exciting news to share today! Almost 2 years ago, we announced our new venture, which we would eventually name Onum , the only true Real-Time Data Observability Platform on the market. In February this year, we started shipping product and signing Onum's first customers, and in April, we shared the exciting news of our $28M Series A, which enabled us to accelerate our work and start building the foundation for a broader organization. This is a very special moment for me - remembering years ago when we followed this very same path with Devo (Logtrust (is now Devo!) at that time before our amazing rebranding). Clearly this was a tipping point for Devo in all the success we achieved there. Now, we need to do it again, and humbly, try to do it even better. Today, I am excited to announce the next step in our incredible journey, as we welcome Don Addington as Onum's President, North America. Don will be tasked with building our GTM team in North America - and we are absolutely thrilled for this next chapter in Onum's story. Don has spent the majority of his 25 year career building and leading teams involved with some of the most major market shifts we've seen - from Information Security, to Cloud Transformation, to Cloud Marketplace Distribution. Now it's time to tackle Data! Don possesses in his DNA two of the most important things for me in an Executive: Orienting everything he does around driving customer value, and building world class teams who execute at all times with the customer as their top priority The US is a critical market and Onum is poised to partner with the myriad of North American-based organizations dealing with the pressing need to better understand, manage, and drive value from their ever-increasing volumes of data. The demand we've received from some of the largest brands in the world in just a short amount of time is both exciting and humbling. With Don, we know the results will be impactful for our customers and for the Data & Cybersecurity ecosystem in general. Please join me in welcoming Don Addington to the team! Stay tuned, more to come.
