Abstract: GeekWire covered InfluxData’s recent announcement about its new hire for Senior Vice President of Engineering, Jim Walsh, who held a similar role at Salesforce. The article mentions that prior to Salesforce, Walsh co-founded cybersecurity firm Versive, which was acquired by eSentire in 2018, and spent over two decades at Microsoft, where he co-founded the Bing engineering team and started the Cosmos data platform. The article quotes what Walsh told GeekWire in an email: “As technology embeds itself into everything, I’m super excited to be joining the world leader in time series platforms as we drive the ability to derive value and insight from the constantly growing trends of increasing sensorization and instrumentation of both virtual and physical worlds.”
