Former Pure Storage Executive to Scale NeuBird AI’s Commercial Engine as Its AI SRE Platform Gains Rapid Market Traction
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NeuBird AI, creator of the world’s leading agentic AI SRE, today announced the appointment of Venkat Ramakrishnan as President and Chief Operating Officer. Ramakrishnan brings decades of experience building and scaling enterprise technology companies from early stage to hundreds of millions in revenue. At NeuBird AI, Ramakrishnan will lead the development of a scalable and repeatable commercial engine to accelerate customer growth and deliver the platform to developer and SRE teams worldwide.
“I first partnered with Gou and Vinod in their previous venture at Portworx. I was also a customer of NeuBird AI in my prior role at Pure Storage where I saw the power of the solution in action and realized the huge market potential,” shared Ramakrishnan. “The NeuBird AI team has built something truly unique: an AI agent that is fundamentally improving how enterprises can run their infrastructure in ways never before possible. I’ve experienced first hand how NeuBird AI’s SRE agent helps customers reduce alert fatigue and decrease the toil of the DevOps and platform SREs. With NeuBird AI, companies are saving hundreds of thousands of man hours, preventing hundreds of millions in lost revenue and significantly increasing ROI on enterprise infrastructure. This is exactly the kind of transformational technology I want to help scale. The problem statement is huge, the market opportunity is massive and the timing is perfect.”
At NeuBird AI, Ramakrishnan will be responsible for establishing and scaling repeatable go-to-market motions in both the enterprise and commercial spaces building and scaling business teams and leading business operations and company functions to drive customer adoption, revenue growth and operational excellence. His appointment comes as NeuBird AI is scaling its commercial operations to meet growing market demand. Today, the company also announced rapid product adoption across industries as enterprise customers used NeuBird’s AI SRE agent to autonomously resolve 230,000 alerts, saving $1.8M in engineering spend in 2025.
“Venkat’s ability to connect customer pain points to technology solutions and deliver ROI to customers makes him uniquely suited for our company,” said Gou Rao, co-founder and CEO of NeuBird AI. “We’ve developed the world’s most advanced agentic AI platform for incident resolution that eliminates the enterprise pain points of managing large scale infrastructure. Our AI SRE agent is production-ready for companies of all sizes, and we’re already seeing strong traction among commercial and enterprise customers. His experience will be valuable as we scale our global go-to-market functions and drive customer adoption and revenue growth. It’s going to be a big year for NeuBird AI as we invest heavily in go-to-market and R&D, expanding our team across all functions.”
As one of the earliest members of the team at Portworx, a cloud native storage company, Ramakrishnan helped build the company from Series A through its acquisition by Pure Storage. As General Manager of the Cloud Native Business Unit at Pure Storage, he established Portworx by Pure Storage as the gold standard for data management on Kubernetes in the enterprise. With a background that spans product development, go-to-market strategy, execution and operational excellence across commercial and enterprise segments, Ramakrishnan has successfully built, led and coached teams in engineering, product development, marketing, sales, customer success and technical support. He previously held positions at Cisco, IBM, Fusion-io, AMD and Western Digital.
“NeuBird’s agentic AI SRE dramatically simplifies customers' lives and disrupts the status quo in the incident management and observability market, which is currently underserved by expensive and arcane tools. The power of NeuBird’s agentic AI technology is the next evolution of autonomous incident response,” continued Ramakrishnan. “We’re redefining how businesses approach incident resolution and eliminate downtime."
