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.

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.
