Veteran infrastructure executive to lead product and engineering as InfluxData expands adoption of InfluxDB 3

SAN FRANCISCO, August 11, 2026 – InfluxData, creator of the leading time series database InfluxDB®, today announced the appointment of Satyam Vaghani as Chief Product Officer. Vaghani will lead product, engineering, and operations as the company expands adoption of InfluxDB 3 and advances the database for developers and enterprises building complex time series systems at scale.

Vaghani brings more than two decades of experience building enterprise infrastructure products across storage, cloud platforms, edge computing, IoT, and AI, from developing foundational storage technology to founding and leading infrastructure software companies. At InfluxData, he will oversee the next phase of InfluxDB 3, building on the company’s long-standing technical leadership in time series as modern systems move beyond monitoring the physical world to understanding and acting on it in real-time. That work will span industrial AI, intelligent infrastructure, and increasingly complex time series applications, shaping the database around the demands of the systems customers are building next.

“Industrial AI and autonomous systems are making real-time operational data essential to how the physical world is understood and controlled,” said Evan Kaplan, CEO of InfluxData. “InfluxDB gives developers and enterprises the foundation to build those systems with the performance, scale, and reliability they demand. Satyam brings the product vision and technical depth to push InfluxDB 3 further, expand what customers can build with it, and extend InfluxData’s leadership into the next generation of time series infrastructure.”

Vaghani joins InfluxData from Tiyaro, an AI infrastructure software company he co-founded and led as CEO. He previously served as SVP and General Manager of AI and IoT at Nutanix, leading product, engineering, and go-to-market for its edge computing and IoT application platform. Before that, he co-founded and served as CTO of PernixData, a flash virtualization company acquired by Nutanix, and began his career at VMware as a Principal Engineer and storage CTO, spending a decade building core storage technology for vSphere.

“Time series data sits behind many of the world’s most demanding systems, and the expectations for the platforms that manage real-time data keep rising,” said Satyam Vaghani, Chief Product Officer at InfluxData. “InfluxData has the technical leadership and product ambition to keep raising that bar. The opportunity now is to extend those strengths across the platform and help customers move faster as their systems grow more complex.”
