ExtraHop opens Singapore office, hires Danny Smolders as VP of APAC

ExtraHop, the global player in real-time stream analytics for IT operations and business intelligence, today announced the expansion of its global operations into Singapore. At the helm of the new Asia-Pacific operations is Danny Smolders, who joins ExtraHop as VP of APAC (Asia Pacific) following his tenure as Director of Sales for APAC at Riverbed. 

Since securing a US$41 million Series C funding in May 2014, ExtraHop has grown significantly, doubling in size in 2015 to over 320 employees worldwide. Over the next 12 months, the company expects its APAC operations to grow exponentially in a handful of key geographies.

“Demand for next-generation IT solutions is accelerating in Southeast Asia and throughout the Pacific region,” said Smolders. “As enterprises increasingly explore the efficiencies of cloud, virtualisation, and software-defined data centres, they are seeking solutions that can deliver the visibility they need to manage and maximise the value of these complex and dynamic environments. The ExtraHop platform delivers not only that visibility, but also the analytics that transform insight into ROI.”

“Expansion into APAC represents a significant step for ExtraHop and underscores the strong growth the company has seen over the past 18 months,” said Jesse Rothstein, CEO, ExtraHop. “The market opportunity is strong and growing, and demand for our platform has already forged a path to important channel partnerships in the region. With Danny leading a world-class team of professionals with deep experience in the region, we look forward to helping organisations maximise the value of IT and deliver meaningful insight for technology and business operations.”

The ExtraHop stream analytics platform is used by Lockheed Martin, Sony Network Entertainment International, Toshiba, and Adobe among others.
