Jim Van Voorhis, Datadog’s regional director of state, local and education sales, wrote: “Finding Jim Jennings was like finding a diamond in the rough. We were searching for the ideal candidate with knowledge of the state of [California] market, and after an extensive yearlong search, we were happy to extend an offer to Jim to support our state, local and education business in NorCal.”
He added: “Jim has proven to be successful early on in his time at Datadog, and his long-term success here is almost a certainty.”
Datadog’s focus is enabling government agencies to migrate to the cloud, troubleshoot performance issues, and improve the speed and reliability of services at scale. The company is authorized at the FedRAMP Moderate-Impact level to support government agencies migrating to the cloud.
Though new to Datadog, Jennings has helped the company get on the state’s Software Licensing Program (SLP) Contract and establish new accounts with which Datadog had no prior relationships.
Jennings, a Roseville resident, has a bachelor’s degree in business administration, management and operations from William Jessup University, and holds professional credentials from Cisco, CompTIA and Citrix.
