The read

Sales now leads headcount at 111 (ahead of engineering's 83), with net growth of +30 over 90 days driven by leadership expansion. The company brought in five VP+ hires including a Field CTO, regional leaders for ASEAN and AI deployment, and a Head of Learning Experience—pulling talent from Grafana Labs, Zscaler, and MongoDB (three, three, and two arrivals respectively). Meanwhile, departures included an RVP Solutions Architecture (APJ) and managers to Meta and U.S. Bank, signaling churn in mid-tier roles even as executive ranks fill. The moves suggest a go-to-market build-out with emphasis on AI-led sales motions and global reach.
