Amplitude, a leading digital analytics platform, announced that Wade Chambers has joined the company as its first Chief Engineering Officer. With more than 25 years of engineering leadership experience, Chambers will lead Amplitude’s Engineering organization and strengthen its product innovation muscle.
The news follows the recent release of Amplitude’s radically simplified platform experience, Amplitude Made Easy, as well as the launch of Snowflake Native Amplitude, a strategic partnership with HubSpot, and enhanced data governance capabilities. In his new role, Chambers will continue to expand Amplitude’s integrated platform, which today includes Analytics, Session Replay, CDP, and Experiment.
“I’ve known Wade for a long time—he’s been an advisor to us for more than eight years, and I’ve learned a huge amount about engineering, management, and leadership from him,” said Amplitude CEO and co-founder, Spenser Skates. “Wade is a first-principles thinker, a phenomenal mentor and manager, and one of the very best engineering leaders for this stage of company in the industry. I’m thrilled he’ll now be with us in-house.”
