Full biography
From Bell Labs to the modern observability pipeline
Greg Coleman is a Technical Alliances Engineer at Cribl, where he works on telemetry pipelines across Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and cloud-native infrastructure—helping organizations collect, shape, and route their observability data to the right destinations without lock-in.
He began his career at AT&T Bell Laboratories, the birthplace of UNIX, and has spent more than 35 years in systems and data infrastructure. Along the way he held roles at Cray Research, Veritas Software, EMC, Splunk, and LogicMonitor—working across supercomputing, storage, enterprise data protection, and observability as each generation of infrastructure took shape.
Greg holds a Master’s degree in Information Retrieval and Data Mining from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and is based in New York. That blend of academic grounding in data and decades of hands-on field engineering shapes how he approaches the modern observability pipeline.
What he’ll bring to the FLOCK ’26 stage
Drawing on decades in observability and data engineering, Greg shares how teams can tame exploding telemetry volumes—shaping and routing the right data to the right places so that AI-driven operations have clean, high-signal inputs to work from.
