About Sayar Ramin

Ramin Sayar is a U.S. technology executive known for building and scaling enterprise software businesses across cloud, infrastructure, and SaaS. He is currently an independent board member at Phreesia, where he has served since October 2021 and sits on the Audit Committee. He also serves on the boards of Acceldata and Endor Labs. His most notable recent operating role was President and Chief Executive Officer of Sumo Logic, which he led from 2014 to 2023. Phreesia’s board biography states that under his leadership, Sumo Logic grew annual revenue from roughly $10 million to more than $300 million in less than a decade, completed a public listing in 2020, and later executed a strategic sale to private equity in 2023.

Phreesia also notes senior leadership roles at TIBCO, Mercury Software, AOL, and Netscape Communications. An older HP executive biography shows that he was responsible for product management and virtualization strategy across HP Operations solutions, while his prior roles at Mercury and TIBCO centered on product management, product marketing, and infrastructure software. Taken together, these roles point to a long career in enterprise technology, with depth in product strategy, go-to-market execution, and operational scaling. ([hp.com](https://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2009/HPatVMworld2009/HPSSRaminSayarExecutiveBio.pdf?utm_source=openai)) His professional profile is especially relevant for governance, commercial discipline, and technology transformation. At VMware, he helped build the Cloud Management business into one of the company’s fastest-growing units, and at Sumo Logic he led a substantial expansion in revenue and market reach. Because of this blend of public-company CEO experience, board service, and SaaS operating leadership, Sayar is often positioned as a strategic advisor for growth-stage and public technology companies listed in the U.S. market.
