Richard Moreira Appointed to Drive Splunk Initiatives for the Federal Government Agencies
SAN FRANCISCO, March 20 / -- Splunk (www.splunk.com), creators of the IT search engine for logs and IT data, today announced it has launched a new practice dedicated to working with government agencies. The focus will be spearheaded by Richard Moreira, Federal Accounts Representative, and will focus on providing IT search solutions to help government agencies improve the availability, security and compliance of their IT infrastructures. Splunk will be exhibiting at FOSE in booth 1449.
In addition to being a former Sergeant for the United States Marine Corps, Richard Moreira brings hands on engineering and IT experience to Splunk. Most recently he was a Communication Systems Field Service Engineer in Iraq under contract with Northrop Grumman. Working with Tony Ayaz, Director of East Coast and Federal Sales for Splunk, Richard will be responsible for business development initiatives within the federal government, its agencies, resellers, and systems integrators.
"IT search provides the ability to dive deep into the complex IT environments running our government agencies and find problems, investigate security incidents and automate compliance reporting," said Michael Baum, CEO of Splunk. "Splunk is already in use at a number of government agencies and major government contractors including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, Department of Transportation, and NASA. There is a tremendous opportunity in this market for Splunk and we're honored to have someone of Richard's caliber join our team."
"The Government sector is in need of a solution to manage the volume and velocity of IT data in their data centers," said Richard Moreira, Federal Accounts Representative. "Just as in the commercial market, our government's organizations rely on their IT infrastructure to be available 24/7/365 and Splunk can help them do that. I look forward to expanding Splunk's market reach in federal and local governments."
Richard served for 10 years as a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps and received his Bachelors of Arts in Organizational Communications and Marketing from San Francisco State University.
