Director of Product Management, End-User Experience Monitoring

The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas: the power to see things not ordinarily possible and the ability to collect insights from many vantage points. As organizations rely more on cloud services and the Internet, the network has become a "black box" outside their control. ThousandEyes gives organizations visibility and insight into the now borderless network. It gives them an accurate understanding of how the network impacts their applications, users, and customers. ThousandEyes is used by some of the world's largest and fastest-growing brands, including the top 5 global software companies, 5 of the top 6 US banks, and 45 of the Fortune 500.

ThousandEyes' pioneered Cloud and Internet Intelligence and is widely known as the 'Google Maps of the Internet.' Today, ThousandEyes is central to the global operations of the world's largest and fastest-growing brands. The company was acquired by Cisco in August 2020, and chartered with continuing to drive leadership in empowering organizations to see, understand, and improve digital experiences everywhere.
