“We brought Vaishali on board because she has a reputation of being the best in the industry,” said Joe Gaitley, Cribl’s senior director of sales for the Western U.S. and Canada. “She has a track record of successfully building SLED territories by focusing on delivering value for her customers.”

Patel told Industry Insider — California that she’s enthusiastic about her new role, including engaging with the California Department of Technology (CDT) and other state departments.

This happens to be Cribl’s exact focus, and my role will be to help security, business and applications teams within state, county, city and higher-ed entities to achieve this goal.”
