SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 23, 2025--

Kentik, the Network Intelligence platform, today announced the hiring of seven new executives across engineering, product, sales, finance, and partnerships, as demand for AI solutions to design, manage, and optimize networks has spiked significantly. The decades of combined experience spans leading enterprises including Dell Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, Red Hat, SolarWinds, SentinelOne, Splunk and more.

“As AI infrastructure continues to fuel strong demand for Network Intelligence, we’ve assembled a world-class executive team to drive our strategy and growth,” said Avi Freedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Kentik. “Today’s networks are more complex and vital than ever, and with Kentik, enterprises and service providers can finally take control of their infrastructure to drive their business — and manage capacity, performance, cost, reliability, and security with confidence.”

The growing executive team at Kentik includes Chris Khadan, Chief Customer Officer; Jason McKerr, SVP of Engineering; Mav Turner, SVP of Product; Daniel Donovan, VP of Global Sales; Magnus Friberg, Chief Financial Officer; Steve Stover, VP of Product Marketing; and Ken Marks, VP of Channels and Alliances. Marks will be leading the charge on developing Kentik’s partner program, Kentik Connect, and foster long-term relationships with MSPs, resellers, and marketplaces.

Kentik has led the charge in transforming the industry from network monitoring to network intelligence, recently launching a suite of AI capabilities such as Kentik Query Assistant to enable non-experts to understand their networks; Kentik Journeys to provide teams with an AI-assisted troubleshooting workflow to solve complex network problems; and Cause Analysis that automatically identifies and explains the root cause of network traffic issues.

Over the past year, Kentik’s revenue growth has doubled, customers have increased to 500 enterprises and service providers, and the company’s footprint reaches a trillion telemetry points per day.
