“I am thrilled to welcome Mark and Bryan as the newest members
of Auvik’s leadership team,” said Auvik CEO Doug Murray. “Their
respective track records of building successful SaaS businesses are
impressive, and their experience will play an instrumental role in
Auvik’s next chapter. The addition of their skill sets accelerates
our mission to reduce friction for IT teams depending on Auvik for
managing diverse technology stacks.”
An experienced software executive, Ralls brings over twenty
years of operating experience to Auvik with a proven ability to
build high-performing teams that delight customers and accelerate
company growth. As President, Ralls will be responsible for all
customer facing functions, including marketing, sales, and customer
success. He previously served as President and COO of Invicti
Security where he helped the company disrupt the web application
security testing market, introducing new and innovative solutions
to help companies secure their web application attack surface.
Prior to Invicti, Ralls held leadership roles at SolarWinds, Social
Solutions, and Vista Equity Partners.
“Auvik is not only a SaaS pioneer, but also a company with a
customer-obsessed culture,” said Mark Ralls. “‘The Auvik Way’
closely aligns with my own views on approaching business and
teamwork, and it’s an inspiring philosophy to get behind.”
Bryan Getz joins Auvik with an impressive record for driving
revenue growth and extensive experience with managed SaaS
platforms, including nearly 20 years of sales leadership in Silicon
Valley. As head of global sales for Auvik, Getz will focus on
driving new logo adoption of Auvik’s platform, while expanding the
current customer base as it grows with Auvik.
Prior to joining Auvik, Getz served in a variety of sales
leadership roles. Most recently as VP of Sales at SaaS leader
Druva, Getz drove their go-to-market motion and channel-first
engagement model into the SMB, mid-market, and enterprise segments.
Prior to Druva, Getz held sales leadership roles at Cohesity,
Applatix (acquired by Intuit) and Data Domain (acquired by
EMC/Dell.)
“Auvik has made great strides over the last year creating a
channel program capable of addressing the huge opportunity as the
company completes the transition from a single product offering to
a more comprehensive IT management platform,” said Bryan Getz. “We
are going to build on that momentum and work with our valued
partners to paint the world Auvik purple.”
As the customer base and product suite continue to expand, Ralls
and Getz will help guide Auvik to continue accelerating the already
explosive growth in the channel. Auvik currently manages over four
million SaaS applications – representing a 700% increase in 2023
alone. In the last year, Auvik has also grown its channel
partnerships from three to nearly 100 after investing heavily in
its channel marketing efforts and expanding its channel team.
