LogicMonitor Names Taggart Matthiesen Chief Product Officer
Matthiesen Brings his Product Team Leadership Experience from Lyft, Twitter and Salesforce to Expand the Scale and Scope of LogicMonitor’s Observability Platform for Enterprises
LogicMonitor, provider of the leading SaaS-based unified observability platform for enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs), today announced it has hired Taggart Matthiesen as the company’s new Chief Product Officer (CPO).
As CPO, Matthiesen will oversee all aspects of product strategy for the company and their unified observability platform, LM Envision, including product management, user experience (UX) and data science. In this role, he will be responsible for enhancing LogicMonitor’s ability to provide companies with the full visibility and insights they need to cost-effectively maximise their IT environment’s resilience, performance and adaptability – key elements for business success in today’s increasingly digital economy.
“Taggart has a proven track record for building successful enterprise and consumer SaaS product teams that combine deep technical know-how with the empathy to fully understand and anticipate users’ needs,” said Christina Kosmowski, CEO, LogicMonitor. “With Taggart joining LogicMonitor’s leadership team and heading product, we will be able to integrate innovations into our observability platform faster, continuing to set our customers up for success in an ever-changing tech landscape.”
Matthiesen joins LogicMonitor from Lyft, where as Vice President of Product he helped build and lead Lyft's autonomous driving initiatives. Prior to this, he held product leadership positions across Lyft’s pay platform, identity & fraud, service & support, mapping, and Lyft for Business.
Prior to Lyft, Matthiesen served as a Group Product Manager at Twitter, where he created and led the company’s Data Product Group. Before joining Twitter, he was Senior Director of Product at Salesforce, leading teams across Salesforce's developer and analytics platforms.
"Observability tools have always been key to building and delivering great products. From monitoring top level metrics, such as ride requests and ETAs, to more detailed diagnostics and insights, like identifying fraudulent vectors or outdated turn restrictions – observability tools are essential to delivering a resilient platform and providing the best possible user experience,” said Matthiesen. “I see great growth potential in the observability space and LogicMonitor is in a unique position within that space, with an incredible team and product.”
A World-Class Executive Team
Matthiesen is the latest seasoned executive to be added by Kosmowski to the LogicMonitor C-suite since her appointment as CEO in January of 2022.
This hire reflects Kosmowski’s focus on building the strongest executive leadership team in the unified observability market, which now includes Ryan Worobel as Chief Information Officer, Nitin Navare as Chief Technology Officer, Carol Lee as Chief Financial Officer, Will Corkery as Chief Revenue Officer, Alyene Schneidewind as Chief Performance Officer and Julie Solliday as Chief Customer Officer. Ryan Kam, Chief Marketing Officer and Yvonne Schroder, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, round out the LogicMonitor executive team.
