LogicMonitor appoints Garth Fort as Chief Product Officer to boost AI

LogicMonitor has appointed Garth Fort as Chief Product Officer, tasking him with overseeing the company's global product strategy and execution, with a focus on further developing the LM Envision platform and driving advancement in AI-powered observability and AIOps through its AI agent, Edwin AI.

This appointment follows the company's achievement of exceeding USD $300 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), a milestone attributed to strong expansion into larger market segments and increased adoption of multiple LogicMonitor products. According to LogicMonitor, customers contributing over USD $100,000 in ARR have grown by more than 25 per cent year-over-year and now account for 80 per cent of the total ARR. The company also noted that Edwin AI, which was launched a year ago, has played a significant role in enhancing revenue growth and broadening platform adoption.

Commenting on the appointment, Christina Kosmowski, Chief Executive Officer at LogicMonitor, said, "Garth's appointment represents our continued, strategic investment in product leadership at the intersection of Agentic AIOps and hybrid observability. Garth brings the pedigree and operational excellence to accelerate and execute our roadmap and unlock more value for our customers and partners—our goal is to reduce unplanned downtime by 50 per cent and empower customers with foresight, not hindsight."

Garth Fort's previous roles include serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer at Splunk. During his tenure, he led Splunk's transition to the cloud, which is now a USD $4.2 billion business. The company highlighted his experience in shaping software and cloud services at prominent technology firms, including Amazon Web Services and Microsoft. Fort holds a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he was recognised as a Morehead Scholar.

Garth Fort, Chief Product Officer at LogicMonitor, said, "LogicMonitor is uniquely positioned to lead the next era of AI-driven observability and IT Operations at a time of massive data centre transformation. The increased demands created by rapid adoption of AI are driving unprecedented complexity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. I'm excited to join LogicMonitor to help build an observability platform that doesn't just monitor across physical and cloud data centres - it foresees and adapts in real time."

LogicMonitor stated that its LM Envision platform is designed to enable observability across on-premises and multi-cloud environments, providing IT and business teams with operational visibility and predictability across technologies and applications. The company aims to allow teams to spend less time on troubleshooting and more time on delivering services to employees and customers.

The appointment of Fort as Chief Product Officer is intended to further the company's strategy of investing in product development and driving its growth in AI-driven software for IT operations. The company noted that Edwin AI's adoption is contributing to its financial results by supporting platform expansion and accelerating revenue from enterprise customers.

LogicMonitor's focus remains on reducing unplanned downtime for its customers, addressing the challenges brought about by increased data centre complexity and the hybrid nature of modern IT environments. The company attributed part of its ongoing growth to the deployment of its AI-powered solutions, which it claims provide clients with improved foresight into IT operations.

The company indicated that having experienced leadership, such as Garth Fort, is central to advancing its product roadmap and meeting the evolving demands of customers seeking operational efficiency amid growing technological complexity.
