Kristi Thiele has been named vice president of worldwide sales engineering by Gigamon, the leader in deep observability. Because to his more than 25 years of practical experience, Kristi will lead the Gigamon sales engineering team in assisting clients in reducing security blind spots and lowering tool costs. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline delivers clients' cloud, security, and observability solutions defense-in-depth and complete performance management by giving network-derived intelligence.

Doug Woodley, senior vice president of global sales at Gigamon, claims that Kristi has been a crucial member of the company's sales engineering team ever since she joined in 2022. As the leading vendor in the deep observability sector, our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture is the cornerstone of our success, and Kristi has made a substantial contribution to that accomplishment. As we endeavour to give our clients with hybrid cloud network-derived insights so they can work efficiently, remain secure, and promote innovation, we anticipate Kristi's effect on our international sales engineering team."

Kristi has 25 years of experience as a sales engineer and leader in the security sector, and she contributes this expertise to the Gigamon executive team. As the senior director of global service provider sales engineering at Gigamon since February 2022, Kristi has assembled a top-tier team of sales engineers and given them the training they need to better meet the changing demands of clients. Before working at Gigamon, Kristi was Keysight Technologies' sales engineer director, where she spent almost seven years fostering connections with customers and partners.

“I'm proud to be the team leader for the sales engineers at Gigamon, a business with a strong commitment to promoting and elevating women in technology”, said Kristi. “I'm committed to establishing the framework for future generations of women to succeed in the sales engineering profession because sales engineering is a traditionally male-dominated sector. My goal is to increase the number of experts on this team so that every business can effectively integrate the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline into their hybrid cloud architecture.”

According to a recently published analysis by market intelligence company 650 Group, Gigamon will hold a 71 percent market share in 2022, making it the top provider in the deep observability industry. The deep observability market's revenue is anticipated to increase by 60% from 2022 to $470M in 2023, according to 650 Group. Also, the market is anticipated to increase at a 52 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to $1.91 billion by 2027, with cloud and subscription-based options accounting for the majority of the revenue.
