Squires brings over 25 years of leadership, global sales and operations experience to the StormForge team
StormForge, a leader in Kubernetes resource optimization, is pleased to announce the appointment of Rod Squires as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
With an impressive track record spanning over 25 years in leadership roles at industry-leading companies such as OverOps, Pentaho, and Vitria, Squires brings to StormForge extensive experience managing sales and operations worldwide in both emerging and larger. In his previous role as CEO of OverOps, a DevOps product that detects, prevents, and fixes code defects, OverOps has grown from a mid-range offering to the Enterprise, serving many of the largest banks and telecoms, resulting in the acquisition by part of Harness .io.
In recent years, Kubernetes has caught on in nearly every large enterprise, yet teams continue to struggle with complexity when managing it at scale. Engineers must guess configuration settings and overprovision to reduce the risk of application performance or reliability issues. Finding the right balance becomes seemingly impossible at scale for hundreds of services with ever-changing usage patterns. The result is vast cloud waste and unsustainable growth in cloud costs. StormForge helps organizations reduce Kubernetes resource usage and associated cloud costs by an average of 50% or more, without compromising performance or reliability.
Under the leadership of Squires, StormForge is poised to expand into its next phase of growth. His strategic mindset and keen business acumen will play an integral role in guiding StormForge’s future efforts as the company continues to expand its market reach and deliver innovative cloud-native solutions to its customers.
“We are thrilled to have Rod join StormForge as the new CEO,” said Mike Triplett, chief executive officer of Insight Partners. “His extensive experience leading global sales and operations makes him the ideal candidate to continue to lead the growth and adoption of StormForge. We are confident that Rod’s vision, leadership and passion for technology will further strengthen the position of StormForge as a leader in the cloud-native application optimization space.”
Squires expressed his excitement about joining StormForge, stating, “I am truly honored and excited to join such a dynamic and innovative team at this time for the market. StormForge has already made a significant impact in the cloud industry -native with its optimized Kubernetes platform and I am excited to contribute to its continued growth. Together, we will seize new opportunities, deepen customer relationships, and drive adoption of StormForge’s cutting-edge solution. I look forward to working closely with the talented team at StormForge to deliver exceptional services, add value to our customers and reach new heights of success.”
