Hot Take:

When two sinking ships merge, does that make a submarine? Exabeam and LogRhythm certainly hope so, but it seems like they’ve already started to jettison crew members and investors before the maiden voyage.

Key Points:

  • Exabeam and LogRhythm have completed their merger, retaining the Exabeam name.
  • A significant 30% workforce reduction was announced post-merger.
  • Former LogRhythm president Chris O’Malley has taken over as CEO.
  • Exabeam’s former CEO Adam Gellar has stepped down with a substantial severance.
  • Legal and shareholder scrutiny surrounds the merger, with investigations ongoing.
