Auvik Names New President and Chief Sales Officer

IT solutions provider Auvik appointed Mark Ralls (president) and Bryan Getz (chief sales officer) to new positions within the company.

“I am thrilled to welcome Mark and Bryan as the newest members of Auvik’s leadership team,” said Auvik CEO, Doug Murray. “Their respective track records of building successful SaaS businesses are impressive, and their experience will play an instrumental role in Auvik’s next chapter. The addition of their skill sets accelerates our mission to reduce friction for IT teams depending on Auvik for managing diverse technology stacks.”

An experienced software executive, Ralls brings 20+ years of operating experience, with a proven ability to build high-performing teams that delight customers and accelerate growth. As president, he will be responsible for customer-facing functions, including marketing, sales and customer success. Ralls is the former president and COO of Invicti Security, and also held leadership roles at SolarWinds, Social Solutions and Vista Equity Partners.

“Auvik is not only a SaaS pioneer, but also a company with a customer-obsessed culture,” said Ralls. “‘The Auvik Way’ closely aligns with my own views on approaching business and teamwork, and it’s an inspiring philosophy to get behind.”

Getz, meanwhile, joins Auvik with nearly 20 years of sales leadership. As head of global sales, he will focus on driving new logo adoption of Auvik’s platform, while expanding the current customer base as it grows with Auvik. Getz most-recently served as VP of sales with Druva, and also held sales leadership roles with Cohesity, Applatix and Data Domain.

“Auvik has made great strides over the last year creating a channel program capable of addressing the huge opportunity as the company completes the transition from a single product offering to a more comprehensive IT management platform,” said Getz. “We are going to build on that momentum and work with our valued partners to paint the world Auvik purple.”
