David Lanstein

Bridges technical engineering and enterprise sales: David's early career as a software engineer at Splunk followed by a senior sales leadership role at PagerDuty gives him both deep product/engineering insight and hands‑on experience building enterprise revenue. That combined background shapes Atolio's product (a privacy‑first, platform approach to unstructured enterprise knowledge) and how the company sells to large CIO/CTO buyers. atolio+2

Privacy‑first product leader for enterprise AI: As CEO of Atolio he emphasizes fully private deployments (private cloud, air‑gapped or on‑prem) and controls to prevent data exfiltration or inadvertent training of public models—positioning Atolio for regulated and security‑sensitive customers. atolio+1

Sales leadership shaped by resilience and in‑person selling: Public interviews and podcasts describe David's belief in hiring for grit and the value he places on face‑to‑face meetings (frequent travel) to build trust with enterprise buyers—traits he credits for early revenue growth at PagerDuty and for driving Atolio's customer engagements. bearworks+1

Hands‑on engineering footprint and open‑source contribution history: David has authored or contributed to tooling (e.g., the Loggly PHP library) and his background includes software engineering roles that inform Atolio's architecture and product decisions around indexing, graphs, and connectors. packagist+1
