Datadog Company Culture & Values

Describe your company culture in one word. What made you pick that word?
Accountability! I know it doesn’t sound like the most glamorous word, but for me it’s my favorite thing about Datadog. Datadog has both a best-in-class product and a strong sales culture that creates real growth opportunities for reps and makes fast-paced career progression possible. We have a culture where ownership is recognized and celebrated and managers empower their teams to develop into leaders. You can set ambitious goals and challenge yourself to achieve them knowing that the company will support your career growth.

How long have you been with the company, and what professional growth or development have you seen in that time?
I joined Datadog four years ago and have had four promotions in four years — few companies match how quickly Datadog recognizes and rewards impact. I started as an enterprise account executive. I was relatively junior but had come from a strong playbook culture and due to my forecasting skills and ability to execute, I was able to land a net new logo in my first few months. From there I was promoted to senior strategic account executive then to major account executive where I was trusted with one of the region’s largest accounts.

This year I stepped into a new role as director of enterprise sales for Germany, and my role is now focused on enabling the next generation of reps. It’s an exciting next step. I moved into leadership to help people grow in a competitive field, whether that’s building pipeline skills or staying resilient through a tough six-month cycle to close a strategic deal. Coaching ambitious team members is what drives me.
