Tad Lebeck SVP Product Development, Ionir

ionir Ltd. announced the hiring of 2 new executives, Tad Lebeck as SVP of product development and Barak Azulay as VP of engineering.

Both will be critical in stewarding product and technology as the company brings on new customers and partners. 

Tad Lebeck, who brings over 2 decades of experience in leading start-ups and large vendors, will take on a senior leadership role overseeing products from ideation to market. Prior that, he founded and led Nuvoloso and served as CTO at Huawei Symantec Technologies and Legato Systems. 

Barak Azulay will lead the engineering team at ionir, using his 15 years of experience in management and development of enterprise-grade software systems. He specializes in management of virtualization, cloud, containers, network, storage and communication. 

These new hires follow a year of progress for ionir in 2021, which included multiple product enhancements, growing customer engagement and new patents granted. The company now holds 10 US patents centered on synchronizing data containers and improving data mobility, and customer engagement has grown at a compound monthly growth rate of over 30% throughout 2021. 

They will be integral parts of the team, which has solved the issue of data gravity by delivering a new data services layer providing all the capabilities required by modern applications – data protection, performance, persistence, mobility, and de-dupe – delivered in Kubernetes-by-Design software. When applied in the DevOps environment, the product is providing customers with transformative increases in CI/CD pipeline deployments by reducing developer time spent wrangling data during the testing process. 

Mike Wall, CEO, said: “Tad and Barak’s diverse expertise will bring a wealth of knowledge that will accelerate our technological innovation and continue to provide customers the software they need to keep their Kubernetes data as agile as their Kubernetes applications. We look forward to continuing our long-term growth curve with our new executives at the helm.”
