He possesses a rich technical background as an architect and software engineer, and serves as an investor and advisor for various tech startups.
  • O’Neil has spent nearly the last eight years at EDB, most recently as the Senior Vice President of HR, building EDB into the organization it is today. She has navigated through monumental shifts, including the tripling of EDB staff to over 900 teammates, the acquisition of 2nd Quadrant, and is a key strategic advisor that continues to champion EDB’s vision and values with strong and steady leadership.
  • De Vries has been a transformative force for EDB’s product development organization over the past two and a half years, as the Senior Vice President of Product Development. He has led impactful changes to EDB’s technical capabilities, resulting in accelerated growth, and continues to push the boundaries of what is possible within EDB’s portfolio, helping to establish EDB as a first-class technology leader.

“Success starts with leadership,” said EDB president and CEO, Ed Boyajian. “The fact that we’ve had 52 consecutive quarters of growth, and a majority investment from Bain Capital is no accident. Leslie and Jozef have been key contributors towards that, and will play even greater roles in driving the company forward. As we look to our next phase of growth, I look forward to working with Chandler to ensure that our products always meet the needs of our enterprise customers.”
