Mr. Ring focused on product development from the inception of Caringo until moving into the CEO role in 2015. During his tenure as CEO, he helped to reshape Caringo—driving the organization in making data-driven decisions on solutions and partnerships targeting high-growth sectors in M&E, HPC and Federal/Local Government.

“On behalf of the Board, I want to thank both Tony and Jonathan,” said Vivek Mohindra, Partner at New Science Ventures and Chairman of the Caringo Board. “Tony has a well-rounded background across Sales, Marketing and Development and is uniquely positioned after three years of heading Product to take the company to the next level as CEO; and Jonathan’s strategic expertise and vision as CTO and Board member will be an ongoing asset to Caringo.”

“I am excited to head this next phase of Caringo’s growth and honored to be working with such a talented group of people,” said Tony Barbagallo, Caringo’s new President and CEO. “The need for Caringo’s solutions has never been greater and I look forward to continuing our rich history as a pioneer in the space. “

Throughout his 30-year career, Mr. Barbagallo has leveraged his extensive experience to establish and grow hardware, software and service organizations. He has held a mix of leadership roles at small and large companies, including VP of Marketing and Product Management at Skyera, Clustrix, WildPackets (now Savvius), and EVault, VP of Marketing and Sales at Dantz (acquired by EMC), and senior management positions at Microsoft, Mentor Graphics, Sun, and GE.
