EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of No Priors, featuring Elad Gil and Olivier Pomel, No Priors Ep. 21 | With Datadog Co-founder/CEO Olivier Pomel explores Datadog CEO on AI, observability, security, and disciplined hypergrowth strategy Olivier Pomel, Datadog’s co-founder and CEO, traces the company’s origins from bridging dev–ops culture gaps to becoming a unified observability and security platform at massive scale. He explains how building from New York, staying close to customer reality, and designing a single integrated platform underpins Datadog’s broad product expansion and efficient, near-profitable growth. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on generative AI: its impact on software workloads, developer productivity, observability, and the emerging LLM tooling stack, as well as Datadog’s cautious, outcome‑driven use of AI in its products. Pomel also details Datadog’s approach to acquisitions, security, customer segmentation, and leadership practices that sustain execution through changing macro and technological environments.
