Quali Expands Leadership Team With Key New Hires
Just weeks after announcing $54 million in new investment, Quali announces team expansion with deeply experienced leaders and new engineers and developers.
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Quali, the Infrastructure Automation at ScaleTM company, today announced the addition of three key vice presidents and progress on growing its technology development team to accelerate innovation and continue its trajectory in market growth.
After recently announcing $54 million in investments, Quali is quickly expanding its team to meet the tremendous demand for its CloudShell platform. Quali's CloudShell simplifies cloud infrastructure, making it accessible and secure for application development and deployment, accelerating digital transformation. Growing the Quali team is part of a broader plan to help its customers overcome infrastructure complexity. Companies that harness Quali's simple, self-service automation, are able to unleash the time and talent of their technology teams, so they can deliver more value by developing, testing, and deploying applications.
"The added firepower to our leadership team with these new hires will help us continue to scale our infrastructure automation solutions to meet the growing demand," said Quali CEO, Lior Koriat. "Each one of these new executives brings a breadth and depth of experience that will help energize our entire organization to sustain our momentum and keep pace with our continued growth in the market."
The need for additional leaders, engineers, and developers is in response to a record year, new customers, and investments and will help Quali bring automation to the masses. The three new executives are:
- Phillip Cockrell, new vice president of business development, brings nearly two decades of sales leadership having started his career on the technical side of the business as engineering lead. Most recently, he worked as the executive lead for commercial sales at Polyverse Corp. and previously led alliances as vice president at SUSE where he spearheaded relationships with strategic partnerships such as Microsoft Azure, IBM, and SAP. "Bringing together the ecosystem and forging strategic partnerships between Quali and industry leaders will enable customers to solve infrastructure complexity challenges and rapidly scale the Quali business with our partners," he said. "I am excited to be a part of this remarkable journey."
- Naama Sapir, new vice president of HR, is a deeply experienced human resources executive leading people strategies for global enterprise and executive management teams. She brings over 16 years of HR executive leadership, most recently serving as VP of HR for AnyClip, Earnix, and N-trig. "I am thrilled to join this amazing team and look forward to leveraging a great culture in making Quali the employer of choice for innovators," she said.
- David Williams, new vice president of product strategy, brings over 20 years of executive product leadership and is a former Gartner research analyst serving emergent technology markets. He also worked in senior executive management roles over product at several companies including Digital.ai, IBM, BMC, and CA Technologies. David also serves as a board member for technology companies. "It's rare to get the opportunity to join a truly innovative software company, proven in solving the technology challenges that prevent organizations successfully adopting the agile and continuous improvement practices needed to meet the demands of their business," he said.
In addition to the executive hires, Quali is expanding its team of engineers and developers with aggressive hiring goals in those roles and plans to nearly double its employee base in the coming year. Quali is expected to fill multiple new positions at its new offices in Austin and Tel Aviv and across the US, Europe, and Asia.
