“I had the privilege to work with Chris for many years as a customer marketer at Splunk. He is an amazing speaker and storyteller and exceptionally talented data architect and scientist. Also just a kind, respectful and solid citizen:-). His passion and expertise go hand and hand. He's done excellent work at ASU. Splunk is fortunate to call Chris Kurtz a customer and Splunk Trust member. He's the kind of customer that has helped Splunk get to where the company is today. Thank you for everything, Chris! ”
