Amplitude (Nasdaq: AMPL), a leading digital analytics platform,
today announced that Wade Chambers has joined the company as its
first Chief Engineering Officer. With more than 25 years of
engineering leadership experience, Chambers will lead Amplitude’s
Engineering organization and strengthen its product innovation
muscle.
The news follows the recent release of Amplitude's radically
simplified platform experience, Amplitude Made Easy, as well as the
launch of Snowflake Native Amplitude, a strategic partnership with
HubSpot, and enhanced data governance capabilities. In his new
role, Chambers will continue to expand Amplitude's integrated
platform, which today includes Analytics, Session Replay, CDP, and
Experiment.
“I've known Wade for a long time—he's been an advisor to us for
more than eight years, and I've learned a huge amount about
engineering, management, and leadership from him," said Amplitude
CEO and co-founder, Spenser Skates. "Wade is a first-principles
thinker, a phenomenal mentor and manager, and one of the very best
engineering leaders for this stage of company in the industry. I'm
thrilled he'll now be with us in-house."
Chambers has served as an advisor to Amplitude since 2016, and
brings a deep familiarity with the emerging digital analytics
category to the role. He also has a history of driving innovation,
fostering collaboration, and delivering impactful results at
leading technology companies. Most recently, he was the CTO and SVP
of Engineering at Included Health. Previously he led engineering at
Twitter, TellApart, Proofpoint, Yahoo, Opsware, and Netscape—and
has been an advisor to cybersecurity company Abnormal Security and
the open data lakehouse specialist Starburst.
“Extracting insights from data has been a persistent part of my
career since the beginning. Today, every company is under pressure
to do the same,” added Chambers. “Joining Amplitude is an
incredible opportunity to transform how companies around the world
use data to understand their customers, build amazing products, and
drive growth. I've always been impressed with the Amplitude team
and feel privileged to have played a small role in its journey so
far. I'm excited to focus on Amplitude full-time and make its
platform even better.”
