Datadog Expands ANZ Leadership Team With Appointment Of Roz Gregory

Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, has appointed Roz Gregory as its Regional Vice President for Australia and New Zealand. The position is integral to the company’s regional multi-year growth plans, reflects ongoing customer acquisition, and supports continued trans-Tasman investment, including the recent opening of its first Australian data centre presence.

Gregory is tasked with expanding Datadog’s enterprise business, with strategic focus on highly-regulated industries, including government, banking, financial services, healthcare and higher education. She is responsible for driving new customer opportunities and expanding existing relationships in concert with Datadog’s channels and alliances teams, and adding headcount to support regional demand.

“Enterprise customers are dealing with ever more regulatory complexity and digital transformation, which puts innovation at risk, particularly with AI,” said Gregory. “Joining Datadog was the natural choice for me because of its ability to enable companies to predict and respond to these changes and prevent incidents. Given the rate of Datadog's product evolution and growth, this is an exciting time to join the team.”

Gregory joins Datadog with more than 30 years’ experience, having advised on, led and delivered change management and digital transformation projects in multiple roles and industries. She has held senior leadership positions at VMware by Broadcom, Pivotal Software and Telstra, among others, in which she pioneered advisory boards to enable major strategic initiatives for high-profile customers, including government agencies.

“Roz has deep experience and been instrumental in driving successful global transformation projects as a consultant, an enterprise customer, and a technology vendor,” said Rob Thorne, Vice President for Asia-Pacific and Japan at Datadog. “Her adaptable leadership style, extensive experience in leading high performance teams, and knowledge of the complexities and regulatory pressures faced by companies in A/NZ will be crucial in steering the next phase of Datadog’s growth plans in Australia and New Zealand.”

Gregory’s appointment follows the opening of Datadog’s first local availability zone in Australia, which enables the company, its partners and more than 1,100 A/NZ customers to store and process data locally to meet applicable Australian privacy, security and data storage requirements.
