"The addition of Dave Meizlik, a proven marketing leader, to our executive team further adds to the growing capabilities of Dome9," said Zohar Alon, Dome9 co-founder and CEO.  "Dave has a proven track record of success in security marketing, and we will rely on his knowledge and expertise as we ramp up and deliver our innovative products addressing the industry's growing cloud security needs.  With this appointment, coupled with our recent funding by Opus Capital Ventures and the early traction we are seeing, Dome9 is off to a roaring start following our recent launch."

Meizlik is a seasoned marketing executive with a strong history of developing and implementing proven marketing programs and go-to-market strategies.  He brings more than a decade of marketing and partnership experience to Dome9, and is a recognized expert in IT security, having advised hundreds of customers on security projects.  Meizlik routinely speaks at conferences, including at the 2011 RSA Conference in San Francisco, and is quoted frequently in the press.  He holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Southern California.

"I'm pleased to join Dome9 and bring to market such an innovative cloud security service," said Meizlik.  "With the explosive growth of cloud computing, enterprise customers and hosting providers need a smarter, more efficient, and more secure way to protect their cloud infrastructure.  The Dome9 cloud security solution and its secure access lease technology is the first of its kind, providing dynamic cloud security that is unmatched in the industry."
