He will tap into his experience growing companies and driving sales to spearhead go-to-market strategy.

He joins from Quark Software, where he has served as CEO since January 2019.

He said: “I couldn’t be more thrilled to join Diamanti, particularly considering the huge market opportunity we see for Kubernetes and the hybrid cloud thanks to the strength and completeness of Diamanti’s technology offerings. As Kubernetes adoption accelerates, more and more businesses find themselves in need of solutions to manage their applications and data at scale. The innovation Diamanti continues to showcase made it an easy decision to join. I’m ready to help our customers modernize their infrastructure, so they are prepared for whatever the constantly changing business landscape throws at them next.”
