Conley joins Infoblox from Zenoss, a leading provider of IT monitoring and analytics software, where he was chief technology officer and senior vice president of product development.

Conley has extensive experience in leading teams of technical architects and engineers in developing IT solutions, as well as a proven track record of identifying industry trends ahead of the market.
