Santa Barbara-based LogicMonitor has announced Taggart Matthiesen as the company’s new Chief Product Officer, the company said in a Jan. 24 press release.

Matthiesen joins LogicMonitor from Lyft, where he built and led the company’s autonomous driving initiatives, holding the title of vice president of product.

Before that role, he also held various leadership positions across Lyft’s business model from identity and fraud to service and support.

He has also held roles at Twitter and Salesforce.

As CPO at LogicMonitor, Matthiesen will oversee all aspects of product strategy for the company and their unified observability platform, LM Envision, including product management, user experience (UX) and data science. 

According to the press release, he will be responsible for enhancing LogicMonitor’s ability to provide companies with the full visibility and insights they need to cost-effectively maximize their IT environment’s resilience, performance and adaptability.

“Observability tools have always been key to building and delivering great products. From monitoring top-level metrics, such as ride requests and ETAs, to more detailed diagnostics and insights, like identifying fraudulent vectors or outdated turn restrictions – observability tools are essential to delivering a resilient platform and providing the best possible user experience,” said Matthiesen. 

“I see great growth potential in the observability space and LogicMonitor is in a unique position within that space, with an incredible team and product.”
