In the article “ControlTheory: Interview with CEO Bob Quillin About the Observability Controllability Company,” Pulse 2.0 interviews GW Engineering and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering alumnus Bob Quillin, CEO of ControlTheory. Launched in April 2025, ControlTheory is transforming observability for enterprises by leveraging controllability to help them cut costs and improve outcomes.
Here is an excerpt from the article: “ControlTheory reframes observability for technology leaders by surfacing inefficiencies, rebalancing cost and value, and optimizing the outcomes observability is meant to deliver. By leveraging OpenTelemetry, we not only enable an open, non-proprietary collection layer but also accelerate the adoption of new, emerging technologies—especially data-intensive AI applications—through intelligent telemetry data pipelines. Rather than replacing existing observability tools, the ControlTheory Observability Control Platform enhances and extends them, introducing a dynamic, feedback-driven approach to managing telemetry from code to cloud, development to operations.”
