Datadog executive team overview
Datadog has 10 tracked executives leading key functions including company strategy and operations, technology strategy and engineering, financial strategy, day-to-day operations (as of August 2026). Datadog, Inc. is an American observability and security software company whose principal executive offices sit on the 45th floor of 620 8th Avenue in New York City, with Class A common stock listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker DDOG. Olivier Pomel and Alexis Le-Quoc, two engineers who had previously run technology and operations together at Wireless Generation, founded the company in 2010 to put developers and system administrators in front of the same data instead of two disconnected views of the same outage. The platform now brings together infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, log management, cloud security, digital experience monitoring and product analytics for cloud applications, and the company presents itself as an AI-powered observability and security platform. Fiscal year 2025, which ended December 31, 2025, closed with revenue of 3.43 billion dollars, up 28 percent year over year, free cash flow of 915 million dollars, and 603 customers paying more than 1 million dollars in annual recurring revenue, up from 462 a year earlier. Approximately 8,100 people worked at the company across 35 countries at that date, 44 percent of them outside the United States and roughly a third of those in France, where the engineering organization has been split with New York since the early years. Second quarter 2026 revenue reached 1.12 billion dollars, up 36 percent year over year, and management guided full year 2026 revenue to between 4.45 and 4.47 billion dollars. The company completed a redomiciliation from Delaware to Nevada on April 21, 2026.
