Instabug Announces New CEO: Jim Douglas to Drive AI-Powered Mobile Observability
Instabug, a leading player in the mobile development space, has appointed Jim Douglas as its new CEO. Douglas brings a wealth of experience from previous leadership roles at Armory and Wind River to his new position.
Under Douglas' leadership, Instabug aims to advance AI-powered mobile observability and transform mobile app quality. His focus areas include promoting a shift from traditional reactive app monitoring to proactive, AI-driven predictive maintenance that improves app performance, reduces crashes, and enhances user trust.
Douglas advocates for the use of "agentic AI," autonomous AI agents that can execute tasks like bug detection and resolution without constant manual intervention. Instabug, under his leadership, emphasizes zero-maintenance mobile apps that smartly identify and resolve issues before they impact users.
Omar Gabr, co-founder of Instabug, is transitioning to the role of President. Gabr has been CEO of Instabug for 13 years and was instrumental in the company's founding in 2012 in Egypt alongside Moataz Soliman. Instabug has since raised over $50 million in total funding, including a $46 million Series B.
With Douglas at the helm, Instabug will focus on scaling its AI-powered observability platform. Douglas has experience as a five-time CEO and has recently presented his ideas in industry webinars and conferences, outlining how AI-powered insights enable enterprise mobile teams to maintain world-class app quality in today’s fast-evolving mobile landscape.
Under Douglas' leadership, Instabug aims to pioneer AI-driven solutions to elevate mobile app stability and observability, moving the industry toward predictive, autonomous quality assurance.
