“Tom’s proven track record of scaling high-performing revenue teams and fostering winning cultures is exactly what we were looking for at BigPanda,” said Assaf Resnick, CEO and founder of BigPanda. “His experience and customer-centric approach will be invaluable for BigPanda as we scale our go-to-market activities.”
“When I first met with Assaf and the team, I was blown away by BigPanda’s unique value proposition, market opportunity, and its clear ability to transform ITOps from reactive to proactive,” said Tom Melzl, chief revenue officer at BigPanda. “I was equally impressed with the intelligent, creative, and collaborative leadership team and their emphasis on working cross-functionally.

Over the past year, BigPanda announced multiple new features to improve the IT incident lifecycle. In July 2023, BigPanda unveiled its Automated Incident Analysis product — a new generative AI capability that provides ITOps teams with fast, accurate, and consistent insights into every incident. In September, the company launched its updated Root Cause Changes feature, which leverages explainable artificial intelligence to correlate incident alerts with infrastructure change data. With these updates, BigPanda can dramatically improve incident root-cause identification and reduce response times by 50%.
