TOKYO AND SAN FRANCISCO - May 23, 2022- PagerDuty, Inc.

PagerDuty’s digital operations platform has become critical infrastructure as companies across industries accelerate their plans for digital transformation. The new joint venture, PagerDuty Japan, further enables PagerDuty to support this transition with an experienced local team.
As PagerDuty scales towards $1 billion of revenue, Japan offers significant expansion opportunities for PagerDuty led by cloud adoption, digital acceleration and DevOps transformation.

"Japan is home to some of the most digitally mature companies in the world. We expect PagerDuty Japan to accelerate our growth in a critical region and to reaffirm our commitment as a global leader.”
The PagerDuty Japan team will report into Natalie Fair, PagerDuty regional lead, APJ, who has two decades of technology experience, particularly in the emerging technologies, enterprise and digital transformation arenas. PagerDuty already counts notable Japanese companies such as Yahoo Japan, NTT DoCoMo and iret as customers.
