Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMorgan Mclean is a senior product and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building cloud-native DevOps, observability, and APM products, now leading Splunk’s Observability Platform as Senior Director of Product Management from Vancouver. He co-created and governs OpenTelemetry, drove its expansion to traces, metrics, logs and profiling, and used that investment to both cut Splunk’s development costs and propel Observability Cloud into Gartner’s leaders quadrant. At Google he launched the first public distributed profiler and helped shift APM strategy to modern platforms; at Splunk he scaled usage 350%, halved escalations, and doubled product adoption. He combines deep technical chops—hands-on integrations in cloud microservices and instrumentation—with go-to-market savvy, turning open-source leadership into a powerful sales differentiator. Notably, he contributed tracing and profiling integrations to the widely referenced GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo, illustrating a practical focus on developer tooling and observability in real-world microservices.
