Erik Chelstad

As a successful entrepreneur who has taken companies from startup to IPO, Erik jumped at the chance of attacking a large, under-served market and co-founded Observa. His past includes creating digital marketplaces, profitably merging technology companies, and being the Senior Engineering Manager at Isilon during its $2.25B acquisition. Erik’s engineering prowess was put to the test developing the initial Observa platform, keeping him out of the mountains… well, at least on poor weather days.
