As COO and co-Founder of Kentik, Biegel brings
experience in network automation and a unique GTM perspective
OpsMill, a pioneer in infrastructure and network automation,
today announced that Justin Biegel has joined the company’s Board
of Directors as a Board Advisor. Biegel is COO and co-Founder of
Kentik, a network observability leader. He will leverage his
experience working in network automation, leading GTM efforts, and
scaling startups to assist OpsMill strategically as it looks to
execute its unique approach to infrastructure and network
automation.
“OpsMill is led by a pair of smart founders that have created a
groundbreaking solution to the hard problems infrastructure and
networking professionals face. Infrahub is an innovative approach
to network data management that enables network teams to easily
modernize their infrastructure management efforts,” said Justin
Biegel, Board Advisor, OpsMill. “They’re coming at just the right
time: Network automation is taking off faster than a rocket ship.
While we’re still in the early days for network source of truth
systems like Infrahub, these systems will prove that they’re a
requirement for enterprises to unlock the full potential of network
automation. I’m thrilled for the opportunity to work with Damien,
Raphael, and the rest of the OpsMill team in a space that I know
well from my time founding and building Kentik.”
Biegel brings demonstrated GTM and operational leadership to the
role. He has over 10 years of experience working in technology
sales and scaling infrastructure and networking companies. During
that time, he helped grow Kentik from the ground up as the first
head of sales, while serving a diverse roster of customers and
broad range of industries across the world.
“Justin brings such value to us as founders as we rapidly grow
our company,” said Damien Garros, CEO and co-Founder, OpsMill. “His
sales, GTM, and operations background complements our deep
technical expertise, forging a partnership that’ll ensure OpsMill
maximizes our market reach.”
Biegel co-founded Kentik in 2014 and became COO in 2021. The
company has raised $102 million through its series C round of
funding. Tech giants Zoom, Box, and Dropbox all use the technology
to achieve complete hybrid and multi-cloud network
observability.
Before co-founding Kentik, Biegel was responsible for sales in
Northern California and the Pacific Northwest at Internap, a global
provider of performance-driven, secure hybrid infrastructure
solutions, where he led his regions to record-breaking performance.
Biegel graduated with honors from DePaul University with a BA in
Economics.
“Justin is a perfect addition to our advisory bench,” said
Raphael Maunier, COO and co-Founder, OpsMill. “He’s worked across
the infrastructure and networking spaces. Specifically, his career
has taught him the increasing importance – and challenge – of
network automation today.”
The move underscores OpsMill’s continuing efforts to enhance its
Board of Directors with proven networking leaders.
