Summary
Casey Rosenthal is a veteran safety and resilience engineer with 18 years of experience building and scaling fault-tolerant systems, best known for founding Netflix’s Chaos Engineering practice and co-authoring the O’Reilly book that codified the discipline. He has led teams that reduced failover times from over an hour to six minutes at Internet-scale and created tools like ChAP to surface systemic weaknesses before they impact customers. As a founder and CEO of Verica he pioneered Continuous Verification, landing multi-million dollar enterprise deals and publishing influential operational research such as the VOID Report. Casey now drives company-wide safety strategy as Oracle’s Safety Architect, while helping shape industry standards through the Resilience in Software Foundation and board roles in high-growth engineering firms. Based in Blue Hill, Maine, he blends hands-on technical leadership with GTM and investor experience, and often bridges deep distributed-systems insight with pragmatic business outcomes. A philosopher by training, he brings a systems-thinking perspective that surfaces non-obvious failure modes and governance considerations in large-scale software.
