Tampa, FL, December 17, 2021 – MANTA today announced the appointment of Dan Fougere, Managing Director at Shore Drive Capital, to the MANTA Board of Directors. Fougere will support MANTA’s continued growth in the U.S. with his sales expertise.
“We’re excited to have Dan join MANTA board of directors,” said Tomas Kratky, founder and CEO of MANTA. “He brings a wealth of experience in business growth and sales strategy along with deep expertise in enterprise software in particular. His counsel will be an invaluable asset as we seek to accelerate MANTA’s growth in the coming year.”
Fougere is a software veteran with over 20 years of experience at both public and pre-IPO software companies. Most recently, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at Datadog, a solution for monitoring applications in the cloud that aims to bring all IT systems, applications, and services into one place for end users.

Mr. Fougere joins a list of experienced investors and veterans of the B2B technology and enterprise IT industry in MANTA’s board of directors, such as Alex Ferrara, Vladislav Jez, and Markus Grundmann.
