Team Transformation

The Numbers

16
departures
23
hires
across 15 months
More than half the company is new.

Engineering — The Hard Part

  • Engineering was rebuilt twice
  • Artem departed → Carlos hired July '25 → resigned Dec '25 → Charles hired March '26
  • Team went from 10 → restructuring to 7 + CTO
  • Carlos resigned Dec '25. Two hires terminated during probation in the search for the right fit.
  • We learned: fewer, better, AI-first. Charles is the leader we needed.

The 2026 mandate: invest margin for growth. Trade lower EBITDA for higher revenue.

Reality: we're doing the opposite. Higher EBITDA, lower revenue.

Good for the board short-term. Not sustainable long-term for the company.

But the leading indicators are strong

What's At Stake

$600k Salesforce Gap

Our largest partner is not renewing. The revenue hole is real.

Revenue Shortfall Across All Channels

Partnerships, enterprise, AND self-serve are all behind plan.

18-Month Category Window

The time to own "Machine Visibility" is now. Cloudflare and Botify are moving.

The Opportunity

  • EBITDA headroom: +$500k+ above plan
  • Integration activity at all-time highs
  • Enterprise pipeline +48% and growing
  • The strongest leadership team we've ever assembled is in this room
The Big Question
We have EBITDA headroom. Do we invest it in growth, protect the margin, or something else?
We'll come back to this on Day 2.
