Strategic Finance and Business Analytics Veteran Brings More Than 20 Years of SaaS Experience
BigPanda, Inc., the leader in Incident Intelligence and Automation powered by AIOps, today announced it has named Ed Tang chief financial officer, reporting to CEO and co-founder Assaf Resnick. Tang brings more than two decades of experience to BigPanda and will help scale the company as it continues through a period of rapid growth.
“Ed’s experience leading financial and go-to-market operations at SaaS companies makes him an ideal fit for BigPanda,” Resnick said. “Between his demonstrated know-how and fit with BigPanda’s culture, we couldn’t be happier to add him to the team. Further, with our incredibly rapid growth, we needed someone with Ed’s IPO experience and ability to help guide us to the next level.”
“I’ve witnessed organizations suffer through tech outages first-hand and seen others over-extend spending because they didn’t have the right AIOps solutions in place, so the value proposition of BigPanda is very real to me,” Tang said. “There are many organizations doing interesting and exciting work, but what sets BigPanda apart for me is the company’s culture. It’s full of great energy and passionate people who understand the market opportunity, and I’m thrilled to get started.”
