Notes

- Graham Moreno managed him at Grafana Labs before Codeium. Moreno's Q1 2023 Grafana post listed Connor Haley among the Central region's 'top performers this Q'. Haley joined Codeium in Jul 2024, the same year Moreno started there (his 'year one' post is dated Feb 2025).May 1, 2023

- Codeium sales leader Graham Moreno's Q3 2024 recap said: "Meredith Siewert (McCarty) and Connor Haley got on the board in a big way in their first 90 days". That is early evidence of fast ramp-up after he joined Codeium in Jul 2024.Nov 7, 2024
- At Grafana Labs (Oct 2022 to Jul 2024) he was an Account Executive in Austin, on the Central sales team with leaders such as Sandeep Shah and Isaac Kim. Both later also show up in Codeium/Windsurf GTM.Oct 2022
- Agility PR Solutions (May 2021 to Nov 2022): moved from Mid Market AE to Senior AE. His profile says: "2021 Presidents Club. #1 North American AE for both net new logos and attainment %."May 2021
- Public headline says "Cognition - Devin".
- The acquisition came days after Windsurf's CEO and other staff left for Google. Cognition was valued at $10.2B by Sep 2025.Sep 8, 2025
- Teachers of Tomorrow, Houston (Oct 2018 to Apr 2021): went from Account Manager to Sales Associate, then Sales - Expansion.
