Did you hear? Datadog is adding 400 new roles in Denver with the launch of our new office! Our Director of Sales Development, Cameron Souza sat down with Built In Colorado to talk about the growth of our Sales org in Denver, what we’re doing to ensure employees feel enabled to succeed, and characteristics the Sales team looks for in candidates as we scale. “One of the most important traits an individual can have is natural curiosity. Being a problem-solver who continually finds solutions to customer needs — while being curious about how those solutions make our customers successful — is an invaluable skillset.” Check out the full article to hear more!

Transitioning into a management role can be a big change, for a number of varying reasons (and especially during a pandemic!). Datadog’s Regional Director of Enterprise Sales in UKI, Lucy Williams-Jones, shares what her experience has been moving into a leadership role after battling COVID-19 herself, and why she hasn’t looked back since. In Lucy’s words: "I've learned a lot of skills that have enabled me to be successful, to have the cash to buy a forever home, go on nice holidays, explore, and travel. And when I was lying there [with COVID], I realized, 'I really want to transfer these skills to young women in tech, because I think that we're an underrepresented group, and I could actually get those young women living their best lives and earning the cash that they deserve." Hear more of Lucy’s story and decision to go from an Account Executive to Sales leader in PowerToFly’s latest blog feature.
Growth is a key principle of Datadog’s culture: Growth of our teams, our global footprint, our product, and our people.
