Datadog adds Ami Vora to board, expands board to ten members
On September 11, 2025, Datadog's board increased its size from nine to ten and appointed Ami Vora as a Class I director to fill the new seat, with her term running to the 2026 annual meeting. The board also raised her initial director equity grant from $400,000 to $600,000 in restricted stock units to attract her to the board, which adds a modest cost but reflects a board addition rather than a change in operations.
Key points
- Board expanded from nine to ten members; Ami Vora appointed effective September 11, 2025
- Vora's term expires at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; no committee assignment at this time
- Initial restricted stock grant increased from $400,000 to $600,000, vesting in three equal annual installments
