Christoph Pfister Brings Network and Infrastructure Management Experience as Company Expands on Network Analytics Capabilities
Kentik, provider of the only AIOps platform specifically designed for network professionals, announced the company appointed Christoph Pfister as its first chief product officer (CPO). Following Kentik’s 2019 continued product innovation and expansion into APAC, EMEA and LATAM, Pfister’s experience will support the company as it continues to bring broader infrastructure management capabilities to a wider set of businesses globally.
“The network is so critical that today’s businesses can’t exist without it, but to successfully run both, you need visibility and actionable insights to cover every network,” said Avi Freedman, co-founder and CEO of Kentik. “As Kentik continues its rapid growth and global expansion, Christoph will help drive our product strategy, expanding our platform to analyze and enrich a broader set of network, application and business data sources and deliver insights tied to what matters: user experience, costs and revenue.”
