Aviatrix taps ex-Splunk CEO to fuel next growth phase

Splunk’s former leader Doug Merritt (pictured) is taking charge as CEO, president, and chairman of Aviatrix Systems, fueling its next growth phase. 

During his tenure at Splunk, Merritt transformed the company's technology roadmap, financial model, and go-to-market strategy, propelling sales from $100m to nearly $3bn in 2022. 

He replaces current leader Steve Mullaney, who departs next month. 

Nick Sturiale, Aviatrix Board Member and Managing Partner at Ignition Partners, said: “I’ve worked alongside Doug throughout much of his career and have watched him become one of the most successful and respected enterprise CEOs with an incredible reputation for driving growth by delivering customer value.”
