Sixteen employee have left the HPE Nimble organisation in just four months, we can reveal.
Thirteen have jumped ship to Sysdig, a well-funded container intelligence startup whose recently-hired CEO is Suresh Vasudevan, the CEO of Nimble at the time of its acquisition by HPE in April 2017. A search on LinkedIn for people with Sysdig and Nimble stints in their CVs will reveal them.

HPE declined to comment on their departures, the timing of which could be linked to the ending of post-merger retention bonus payments.
We have no reason to suspect that anything is awry in HPE Nimble land – people move all the time and there is a huge cultural difference between startups like Nimble and massive mainstream vendors.
