As a member of the company’s senior executive team, Stewart will focus on operational efficiency, financial management, and investor relations to drive Sumo Logic’s long-term growth.
“As every company increasingly embraces a digital-first strategy, Sumo Logic is strongly positioned as a real-time data analytics leader that can help them build, run and secure their digital applications and multi-cloud infrastructure,” said Ramin Sayar, president and CEO, Sumo Logic. “I’m thrilled to have Stewart join Sumo Logic and am excited to partner with him to capture the large and growing market opportunity in front of us.”
Stewart has been leading finance and operations teams of public and private technology companies for more than 25 years. He joins Sumo Logic from Delphix, a leader in DevOps software, where he served as CFO. In addition, Stewart previously spent 8 years as CFO at ArcSight, the first generation SIEM leader.
