Circonus' founder and former CTO, Theo Schlossnagle, will continue to drive engineering and R&D initiatives for the company as its first distinguished engineer.

"I am thrilled that David has agreed to join the company," said Bob Moul, Circonus CEO.

"I am very pleased to be joining Circonus at this exciting time of the company's growth," said Wallace.  "In joining Circonus, I was impressed with the exceptional leadership team, the power and performance of the technology, and frankly the stunning list of well-known enterprise clients and use cases. The vision for the future is very compelling and I look forward to working with Bob, Theo, and the team as we help our clients harness the power of telemetry at scale to deliver exceptional business insights and value."

Circonus is backed by NewSpring Capital, Baird Capital, and Osage Venture Partners. "We are excited to have David join the team," said Brian Kim, Partner, NewSpring Capital. "We invest behind strong leadership teams with a demonstrated track record of success and David clearly fits this profile. Combined with the strength of the company's tech and the size of the market opportunity, his addition only strengthens the conviction and excitement we have for Circonus."
