Yoram Novick CEO, Zadara

Zadara, Inc. appointed cloud executive Yoram Novick as new president and CEO.

He is recognized as a company founder, CEO, and former board member and advisor to various technology companies such as Topio, Maxta, Storwize, Druva, and Kapow.

“The current cloud model is centralized creating a huge gap in the market and increasing demand for superior performance and security for latency sensitive applications and data sovereignty critical workloads,” he said. “Zadara’s proven Edge Cloud solutions bring the benefits of cloud computing and edge computing to its powerful partner network around the world. Zadara is delivering for its customers and partners a top-notch cloud platform that meets all of their demands for a fraction of the cost of the traditional cloud model.” 

The edge cloud is changing the way organizations manage their most precious asset – data, by offering high performance, low latency, compute, networking and storage where it is needed most, outside of centralized data centers, as close as necessary to where data is generated and consumed.

With more than 250 global partners, Zadara is currently deploying a cloud every week and will soon offer an edge cloud location near every major city in the world powered by its partner network. Its 500+ clouds span 24 countries with the largest concentration found in the US, followed by Japan, the UK, the Philippines, Israel and Brazil.

The firm continues its growth in 2023 both organically and by acquisition. The company acquired former Stratoscale IP and NeoKarm Edge Cloud technology in 2021 solidifying its leadership in the edge cloud space. Earlier this year, it acquired Brazilian technology provider ZVS as it continues its expansion into Latin America. 

Co-founder and former CEO Nelson Nahum will continue to lead the company’s technology strategy in the role of CTO. 

“I have known Yoram for 25 years and he is a proven leader with over three decades of experience building and operating world class organizations,” he said. “Yoram is unmatched in his ability to drive product development, strategy, and the operations required to lead Zadara as it delivers cloud technologies that our customers require for sustained competitive advantage. He is exactly what Zadara and our customers and partners need as we enter our next chapter and create the world’s largest Edge Cloud.”

“I am thrilled to join forces with Nelson and the outstanding Zadara team, building on the momentum of the business and working with exceptional MSPs, partners, and customers worldwide to continue the company’s unmatched commitment to product quality, reliability, and customer experience in the most demanding environments,” added Novick.
