Gartner Expert

Martin Caren

Director Analyst

I work in Gartner's IT Monitoring team, where I cover the Infrastructure and Application monitoring market and solutions.

Previous experience

Previously I worked for a leading Nordic bank where I was a knowledge leader. My main focus was to drive the adoption and improvement of monitoring solutions within the bank and coaching people and teams in the use of monitoring and observability products. I was also responsible for driving the roadmap for monitoring which involved - simplifying, empowering and automating the monitoring stack to give teams greater insight into applications and services performance and leveraging the data to allow teams to proactively manage service delivery. Finally, I was also responsible for developing, driving and evangelizing the monitoring vision, strategy and roadmap.
