LogicMonitor appoints new chief product officer

SaaS platform LogicMonitor has appointed Taggart Matthiesen as its new chief product officer (CPO).

As CPO, 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.

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

Christina Kosmowski, CEO, LogicMonitor said, “Matthiesen has a proven track record for building successful enterprise and consumer SaaS product teams that combine deep technical know-how with the empathy to fully understand and anticipate users’ needs.

“With Matthiesen joining LogicMonitor’s leadership team and heading product, we will be able to integrate innovations into our observability platform faster, continuing to set our customers up for success in an ever-changing tech landscape.”

Mattheisen said, "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such as ride requests and ETAs, to more detailed diagnostics and insights, like identifying fraudulent vectors or outdated turn restrictions – observability tools are essential to delivering a resilient platform and providing the best possible user experience.”

Before joining Logic Monitor, Mattheisen was the VP of product at US ride-sharing company Lyft.

At Lyft, Matthiesen helped build and lead Lyft's autonomous driving initiatives. Prior to this, he held product leadership positions across Lyft’s pay platform, identity & fraud, service & support, mapping, and Lyft for Business.
