Company updates

We are thrilled to embark on our next chapter with Vector Capital Management, a leading private equity firm specializing in investing in established technology businesses. Riverbed is also excited to welcome our new CEO, David Donatelli. Dave’s appointment to CEO and the completion of this transaction mark an exciting milestone for our company, as we continue to advance our innovative Alluvio Unified Observability and Riverbed Acceleration portfolios to unlock greater value for our customers.

Our Talent Acquisition team is committed to conducting business with honesty, professionalism, trust, transparency, and accountability. As hiring scams are on the rise, we have unfortunately been made aware of a recruiting scam targeting job candidates using Riverbed’s name. If you receive an email alleging to be from a Riverbed Recruiter, Riverbed Hiring Manager or any other Riverbed Representative and are concerned with the legitimacy of such communication or that such communication may be "spoofed," please contact us immediately at hrhelp@riverbed.com. In hopes of protecting candidates from fraudulent hiring practices, we also encourage you to visit our Careers page to learn more about our hiring process, most importantly how we communicate with candidates and what to look out for.
