According to a release, in addition, Andrew Sullivan, previously Director of Labs, has been promoted to Director of DNS Engineering.

"Dave specializes in building web operations teams and capacity planning for large-scale infrastructure projects, making him a perfect fit," said von Wallenstein.

Sullivan has been working on future innovations for Dyn for the past year as Director of Labs. In his new role as Director of DNS Engineering, he brings that same pioneering spirit to the DNS team, ensuring the company is always looking toward the future of the Internet.
