Professional Journey

Carlson studied economics to bachelor’s level and built his early career in technology. EasyVista describes the roles he held at OPNET, Optinuity and Visual Networks before joining it as “value-creation roles”, without further detail.

In 2010 he joined EasyVista as Vice President of Sales, North America. He was the company’s first employee in the United States, so his job was to open a market for its IT service management software from scratch. He stayed with the company through its growth in North America. In 2020 he became Chief Revenue Officer, a role he held until 2022.

In 2023 he became Chief Operating Officer. EasyVista describes the role as driving operational excellence, expanding platform capabilities, and overseeing ARR growth and optimal EBITDA. It also says he focuses on “aligning cross-department efforts”. He sits on a leadership team led by Chief Executive Officer Patrice Barbedette. The company’s platform now includes IT service management (EV Service Manager), IT operations management (EV Observe), automation and orchestration, discovery, remote support (EV Reach) and digital experience monitoring. EasyVista has appeared in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for enterprise service management for eleven consecutive years.
