Dave Kranowitz, the Vice President of Global Sales at Grafana Labs, brings two decades of sales experience to the role, having previously led enterprise sales for Turbonomic and the U.S. Eastern region for Dynatrace. Based in Barrington, Rhode Island, Kranowitz has a background in 19th-century American history and environmental policy from Connecticut College and enjoys spending time with his family, restoring a 1985 Jeep CJ-7 with his son, and studying Krav Maga. Known for his adventurous spirit, in 1995, he embarked on a memorable cross-country trip, during which he and friends sent postcards from a borrowed cement lawn gnome back to its owner, weaving an imaginative narrative for the gnome's journey. Kranowitz frequently travels for work and relies on his Bose headphones and iPhone 11 as essential gadgets.
