Meet Our Leaders

ScienceLogic was born from Dave’s personal conviction to solve some of the most pressing problems facing IT organizations. With firsthand knowledge of customer pain points and the lack of viable solutions in the competitive landscape, he built ScienceLogic with a clear vision to bring smarter and more targeted IT management tools to market. Under his leadership, what began as a three-person startup in 2003 has burgeoned into a global enterprise quintupling in size and delivering 30% CAGR since 2015.

As CEO, Dave’s mission is to foster a successful ecosystem of customers, employees and partners. Leading by example, he stewards a strong internal culture that prioritizes innovation, collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement, as well as individual wellness. By nurturing engaged, self-actualized employees, Dave sets the foundation for exceptional customer experiences and exponential business growth.

Before founding ScienceLogic, Dave was senior vice president at Interliant, Inc., where he solidified the company’s presence in the ASP/MSP market. Prior, he held senior roles at IBM, leading development of Internet commerce products.

Dave holds a Bachelor of Science from Denison University.

Pat McCoy is accountable for all aspects of ScienceLogic’s financial performance. His main focus is maximizing ScienceLogic’s long-term value with a strong growth strategy backed by rock-solid numbers. During his tenure, the company has scaled from 40 to 400+ employees with over 10x growth in revenue, aided by Pat’s planning and forecasting expertise.

Pat is the company’s chief negotiator, playing a direct role in all major contracts. His contracts and finance abilities deliver twofold value: helping find the win-win for customers and ScienceLogic, and helping ScienceLogic scale with fiscal discipline that public companies aspire to.

As a leader, Pat urges his team to “look beyond the numbers” and work shoulder-to-shoulder with the rest of the company to drive sales, improve operations, and share business intelligence that supports the corporate mission.

After starting his career at Ernst & Young, Pat served as CFO for three rapidly growing tech companies and played a key role in their successful exits. These were Netcordia, acquired by Infoblox in 2010; IOtech, acquired by National Instruments in 2005; and Computer Logics, now part of Attachmate.

Pat holds a B.S. in business administration from John Carroll University and belongs to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Richard Chart brings engineering and executive vision to his dual leadership role. While guiding ScienceLogic’s product architecture and ensuring it consistently delivers on its value-promise, he leads the company’s SRE team to provide customers with fully automated SaaS operations.

With personal insight into operator challenges, he engineered ScienceLogic’s flagship platform to give customers much-needed visibility into their IT environments. This set ScienceLogic on course to deliver exponential value year over year, as ITOps grow ever more ephemeral and complex.

Richard’s forward-looking vision is shaped by 25 years of technical experience and lessons learned. Before starting ScienceLogic, he led systems engineering at Interliant, where he aided a successful IPO by ensuring highly predictable product delivery at a global scale. Prior, he led engineering of intranet products at Telstra Multimedia and developed breakthrough software solutions at AT&T Bell Labs.
