“I was drawn to PagerDuty because of its customer-centered culture and focus on transparency, diversity and people,” said Talreja. “I look forward to bringing my passion for people and championing the customer to the organization.

Companies must look at everything through a customer’s journey and the business value the customer is achieving with a solution or platform, to drive digital acceleration. I look forward to partnering with my peers across PagerDuty to drive the company’s next stage of growth.”

In addition to Talreja’s appointment, PagerDuty strengthened its sales leadership bench with the additions of Keith Kettell as Vice President of North America Enterprise Sales and Josh Thacker as Vice President of Strategy and Operations.
