Alex Pike is the strongest match โ€” P-Club at Okta, Dallas-based, and his Orbt process stalled on comp, not fit. Want me to add him to the Datadog shortlist?

Interviewed 4x at Orbt in late 2024. Positive feedback from the hiring team, especially on his pipeline discipline. Declined at final because the comp package was 15% below his target. Currently still at Okta but recent signals suggest hes open.
