Eye On A.I. · 6 in 10 Enterprises Can't Find the Root Cause When Their AI Workloads Fail | Paul Appleby, Virtana · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

Thanks, Craig.

Yeah, I'm Paul Appleby.

I'm the CEO of Vertana.

And we're a company that exists really for one really important purpose.

where companies across many industries, whether it's banking, telecommunications, healthcare, retail, airlines, whatever, are so reliant on their technology.

In fact, a lot of chief risk officers say that the single biggest point of catastrophic risk of failure for a business now is their technology and infrastructure.

But Tana's in the world of trying to protect that.

We live in this world called observability, and that's all about business resilience.

and operational efficiency.

How do we make sure those services that are critical to your business and your customers stay performant and available?

And even more relevant in this era of accelerated AI adoption, of course.

I've been here now for a couple of years.

Inherited an amazing business that in the past, in fact, under its prior name of Virtual Instruments, was run by John Thompson, the former chairman of Microsoft.

So the company's been around for some time and has an amazing history with its core technology.

But I came to the company two years ago with a charter from the board to really lean into this world of the broad digitization of services and the scale out adoption of AI technology.

Prior to that, I've been working in technology for years, sometimes in startups, because I love that whole idea of the scale up.

But sometimes in much larger companies, through phases of transformation and growth, like Salesforce, where I was for a number of years, and also companies like Elasticsearch more recently as their president.

So I've got a long background in enterprise software and enterprise technology and growth and scale of businesses.

Yeah, I think it's a couple of really important things to say.

I mean, this class of software, Craig's been around for a long time.
