Auvik appoints Daniel Ochoa as Chief Revenue Officer. Veteran Channel Leader Tapped to Scale Revenue Organization as Auvik Expands Its Agentic IT Management Platform WATERLOO, Ontario, August 13, 2026 - Auvik, an award-winning AI-driven IT management platform provider, today announced the appointment of Daniel Ochoa as Chief Revenue Officer. The promotion recognizes Ochoa's impact since joining Auvik in June 2025, during which he transformed the company's go-to-market approach and delivered a historic year of growth. Ochoa's first full fiscal year was marked by several key developments, including the launch of Auvik AI, designed to help IT teams shift from reactive monitoring to proactive resolution; intelligent alerting that reduces noise and the time spent triaging issues; and an expanded integration that brings automated device inventory management into existing IT workflows. Ochoa steps into the CRO role at a pivotal moment for Auvik, as the company continues to expand its platform to deliver broader visibility across IT environments. A revenue Leader, building for scale. Ochoa brings a wealth of experience leading market expansion and building channel and alliance ecosystems. Prior to joining Auvik, Ochoa served as CRO at Automox and spent nearly 12 years at SolarWinds, where he held sales leadership roles across North America, LATAM, and EMEA, giving him a deep understanding of the IT operations market and how to scale revenue organizations across geographies and customer segments. Since joining Auvik, Ochoa has introduced the Partner Success Framework, a structured program built to deepen partner alignment, streamline collaboration, and equip partners with the enablement needed to deliver measurable customer value. The framework has been a key driver behind Auvik's sustained channel momentum and was specifically recognized earlier this year when Ochoa was named to CRN's 2026 Channel Chiefs list. "The results we've delivered this year are a reflection of the team Auvik has built and the culture we've invested in," said Ochoa. "We've challenged ourselves to think differently, execute with discipline, and show up consistently for our partners and customers. As CRO, my focus will remain on scaling what's working, including investing in partner relationships, expanding our platform's footprint with existing customers, and powering a continued pace of innovation." Leading Auvik's next chapter of growth. As CRO, Ochoa will oversee the full scale of Auvik's revenue organization, with a focus on strengthening channel partnerships, accelerating cross-sell and upsell across Auvik's expanding platform, and growing Auvik's presence in North America while expanding its reach in international markets. "Daniel combines extensive channel expertise with a disciplined approach to building high performing teams and scalable growth engines," said Doug Murray, CEO of Auvik. "As we continue bringing new Auvik AI capabilities to market, his leadership will be instrumental in helping customers and partners realize greater value from our platform and driving Auvik's next phase of growth." Driving the future of autonomous IT at Auvik. Auvik is focused on a future where IT teams spend less time on routine operational work and more time on the problems worth solving. With Auvik AI now in market and continued investment in agentic capabilities, the company is turning that vision into a practical reality for IT teams and MSP partners navigating an environment where the volume of alerts, devices, and applications continues to outpace available headcount.

August 4, 2026 at 9:09 a.m. Award recognizes Ralls' leadership in Auvik's evolution to AI-powered IT operations WATERLOO, Ontario - Auvik, an award-winning AI-driven IT management platform provider, today announced that Mark Ralls, President, has been named to Channel Insider's 2026 AI Leaders in the Channel List. The annual list recognizes executives driving real innovation and impact through artificial intelligence across the IT channel. Since being named President in 2024, Ralls has championed Auvik's expansion beyond its network monitoring and management roots into a broader, AI-enabled IT management platform. He was instrumental in the launch of Auvik AI, a set of AI-powered agents built into the platform that help IT teams manage, troubleshoot, and optimize their infrastructure without added setup or tuning. The agents draw on 15 years of Auvik's real-world network data to prioritize alerts, guide troubleshooting, and flag device lifecycle issues before they become outages. "We built Auvik AI not to chase the AI hype cycle, but to directly address the operational challenges our partners and customers face every day," said Doug Murray, CEO of Auvik. "Mark has played a central role in bringing that vision to life, and this recognition speaks to the impact of his work." Ralls brings more than twenty years of operational leadership to the role, including prior experience as President and COO of Invicti Security and leadership positions at SolarWinds and Vista Equity Partners. "There's obviously tremendous buzz around AI right now. But what partners actually need are tools that work alongside their teams to deliver practical guidance that supports faster, more automated remediation. That's what we set out to build with Auvik AI," said Ralls. "It's grounded in real-time network data rather than guesswork, which is what makes it useful instead of just another chatbot. This recognition means a lot given how much work went into getting that right." Recognizing AI Leadership Across the Channel Channel Insider created the list to spotlight channel-focused leaders from MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, GSIs, and vendors who are delivering measurable AI-driven outcomes in cybersecurity, automation, customer support, and operations. "AI is changing how the channel delivers value, and these leaders are at the forefront of what will come next," said Victoria Durgin, Managing Editor at Channel Insider. "We congratulate each honoree for pushing innovation and helping partners stay competitive in an evolving market."

Auvik Aurora builds on this vision, further empowering IT technicians to prevent network and infrastructure issues and reduce mean time to resolution when issues do occur, while helping its partners uncover revenue opportunities. This is just the beginning, as Auvik will continue to invest significantly in enhancing its agentic AI offerings to lead the future of IT and network operations." Purpose-Built AI for the way IT teams work. Auvik AI agents leverage real-time network data - including topology, device relationships, performance data, lifecycle status, and security vulnerability data - to deliver actionable recommendations, prioritize alerts by impact, and guide faster issue and ticket resolution. With thousands of organizations trusting Auvik to power their IT operations today, Auvik AI agents are uniquely suited to leverage network and client-specific data to provide contextual recommendations and tailored network actions, improving effectiveness over generic LLM responses. "Auvik Aurora enters the market with a meaningful advantage, as it is built on the rich and diverse dataset Auvik has already established through its cloud-based platform," said Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, EMA. "Our research shows only 44% of IT organizations are fully confident that the quality of their network data can support AI-driven network management. As organizations continue to learn how to assess and build trust in AI solutions, Auvik's data lake serves as a critical foundation for agentic IT operations." Auvik Aurora's out-of-the-box capabilities empower IT teams without dedicated AI expertise or implementation budgets to realize value from day one. The agents enable natural-language alert creation and recommendations tailored to each IT environment and provide unique, vendor-specific assistance for command syntax and scripting.

Immediate outcomes for IT teams and MSP partners. Auvik Aurora provides value instantly, enabling IT teams and MSPs to: Pre-empt issues by knowing which devices to patch or replace before they cause an outage. Find problems faster by accessing AI-powered insights, eliminating the need to scramble when users call in for assistance. Resolve tickets more efficiently by leveraging context-based recommendations and command assistance for the specific device. "Today's IT technicians are more overloaded than ever with alerts and tickets. Auvik's agentic framework is directly answering the market's need for more intelligent IT insights and actionable recommendations," said Dan Zaniewski, Chief Technology Officer, Auvik. "Auvik AI agents are naturally embedded throughout Auvik's platform, integrated directly into the workflows IT teams spend too much time in today. The result is real customer value for both IT professionals and MSP partners alike: faster troubleshooting, smarter prioritization, and insights that simply weren't possible before."

Auvik 2025 year in review: platform advancements and highlights. In 2025, Auvik provided enhanced visibility, automation, and advanced insights to more than 6,000 customers across over 110,000 networks worldwide. During the year, the company tackled key challenges for modern IT teams, including alert fatigue, tool sprawl, and the growing prevalence of unsanctioned AI use. Innovations transform network visibility and automation for overburdened IT teams. In 2025 Auvik introduced powerful new capabilities across its Network Management and SaaS Management platforms, designed to reduce operational noise and simplify day-to-day IT workflows. These innovations expanded automated visibility across networks, servers, SaaS applications, and endpoints, enabling IT teams to operate more efficiently in complex, hybrid environments. Auvik delivered intelligent automation and streamlined visibility enhancements in 2025, with key advancements including: * Shadow AI Visibility addressed one of 2025's biggest challenges: as organizations pushed employees to leverage AI for faster results, many turned to unsanctioned tools to get the job done quickly. In response, Auvik detected and classified more than 100,000 Shadow AI applications, giving IT teams the visibility needed to monitor usage, enforce policies, and strengthen governance without stifling innovation. * Smart Alert Suppression prioritizes the most critical alerts for IT teams and has proven to reduce alert volume by 80%, resulting in more intuitive alerting, greatly reducing alert noise and only surfacing mission critical insights. * Enhanced endpoint, network, and server monitoring provide deeper, automated visibility across the entire IT ecosystem. Auvik Endpoint Network Monitoring, a feature added to the Auvik Network Management (ANM) platform in 2025, extends network visibility to the endpoint, across workstations no matter where they are, to help IT teams manage and improve the end-user experience on Windows and macOS devices. Auvik also expanded its Server Monitoring capabilities in ANM, providing customers with deeper visibility into Windows servers. These advancements underscore Auvik's ongoing commitment to helping overburdened IT teams regain control of increasingly complex network and SaaS environments while proactively managing emerging IT risks. "2025 was a pivotal year for Auvik, as we delivered the intelligent automation and visibility that IT teams desperately need right now," said John Astorino, Chief Operating Officer at Auvik. "The explosion of shadow AI created serious governance challenges for organizations trying to balance innovation and security. In response, our platform is giving IT leaders the control they need without becoming a bottleneck to productivity. Auvik is fundamentally changing how IT teams manage their increasingly complex environments." Auvik recognized for continued dedication and excellence in advancing IT security and automation. Driven by these landmark achievements, Auvik has recently been recognized as one of Toronto's 2026 Top Employers, as well as being named to the 2025 Deloitte Canadian Fast 50 list.

"The momentum we've built in 2025 reflects our unwavering focus on reducing friction for IT teams that are stretched thin while managing increasingly complex environments," said Doug Murray, CEO at Auvik. "From tackling shadow AI to slashing alert fatigue, Auvik isn't just keeping pace with industry challenges, we're staying far ahead of them. In 2026, we're doubling down on AI-powered capabilities and automation that will make IT operations even more intuitive and data-driven.
