Replica , the Los Angeles-based company that provides monitoring and management services for Kubernetes-based applications, has successfully made the former product manager of programming giant GitLab worth $ 2.75 billion. dollars his new product manager.
Mark Pundsack joins the company as it evolves to grow its business. At GitLab, Pundsack has seen the company grow from 70 employees to 1,300 while it was evolving its activity thanks to its on-site offers.
Replica hopes to provide the same type of on-site services to a wide range of corporate clients, according to the company's CEO, Grant Miller.
First introduced in Replicated by working with CircleCI, it was the new traction of the company since the launch of its Kubernetes deployment management toolbox which led him to take a second look.
"The momentum created by Replicated with its latest offer is enormous; really change the trajectory of the business, "Pundsack said in a statement. "When I got closer to the product, the team and the customers, I knew it was something I wanted to be part of. This company is in a unique position to create value across the enterprise software ecosystem; this type of litter is incredibly rare. The potential reminds me a lot of the beginnings of GitLab. "
It's a huge blow to Replicated, according to Miller.
"Mark created the main product strategy for GitLab; transform GitLab from a source control company into a complete DevOps platform, with incredible support for Kubernetes, "said Miller. "There really is no better experience for a product manager at Replicated; Mark has seen GitLab evolve from a traditional on-site installation to a Kubernetes-based installation and management experience. It's the same transition that many of our clients go through and Mark has already done it with one of the best. I am so confident that his involvement with our product will lead to more success for our customers. "
Pundsack is the second new hiring of Replicated executives in six months as the company seeks to add more muscle to its C-suite and expand its operations.
