“To accelerate our vision of excellent customer service, we’re scaling our Customer Engineering function, which provides unique value by going beyond typical support and being an extension of our customers’ teams, helping them solve critical outages and performance issues,” said Mohit Lad, co-founder and CEO, ThousandEyes. “This team has been especially crucial in solving user experience challenges for customers managing the surge of remote workers due to COVID-19.

Esdaile joins ThousandEyes from Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, where he led innovation and rapid prototyping initiatives in Aruba’s own CTO Office. Prior to Aruba, Esdaile was a co-founder of a startup acquired in late 2010 that became the foundational technology for Aruba’s Enterprise Access Management solution, ClearPass.
