AppDynamics has appointed David Wadhwani as CEO.
Wadhwani joins AppDynamics from Adobe where he was responsible for the Digital Media Business Unit, overseeing its business and product transformation to the cloud. Under his leadership, the company built a rapidly growing, multi-billion dollar subscription business targeting individuals and enterprises. Wadhwani has also held executive roles at Macromedia and product roles at Oracle.
AppDynamics was founded by Jyoti Bansal in 2008 with the vision of “Application Intelligence" to help modern enterprises go through digital transformation. Under Bansal’s leadership, AppDynamics has rapidly become one of the fastest growing enterprise software companies with nearly 850 employees and 1,600 customers. During its last fiscal year ending Jan 31, 2015, AppDynamics reported more than $150M of bookings at a more than 100% year-over-year bookings growth rate. With the addition of Wadhwani to the AppDynamics team, Bansal will continue to lead the company’s vision, strategy and innovation as Founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Strategist.
“I am thrilled to welcome David to the AppDynamics team,” said Jyoti Bansal, founder and CEO of AppDynamics. “With David as my partner focused on scaling the company, I can focus on driving the company’s vision, strategy and innovation agenda as we expand into new categories and new markets. David brings a wealth of experience in operational excellence at scale, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to help shape this next phase of our journey.”
David Wadhwani comes to AppDynamics from Adobe, where he was SVP and GM of the digital media business unit. He led Adobe's development of solutions for content publishers and application developers and oversaw the full range of Adobe’s creative products. Wadhwani joined Adobe in 2005 from Macromedia, where he was vice president responsible for developer products. Before Macromedia, Wadhwani founded and managed iHarvest, a web content management company that was acquired by Interwoven. He also worked in business intelligence at Oracle.
“AppDynamics has a big vision, a disruptive technology platform, and an exceptional team” said David Wadhwani. “It’s uniquely positioned in a very large market. I am honored to partner with Jyoti and the rest of the team and excited to build on the incredible foundation they’ve created.”
