Delphix, a start-up offering a data virtualization software engine that installs as a virtual machine on any supported hypervisor , appointed Chris Cook as president and chief executive officer and a member of the board of directors. Founding CEO Jedidiah Yueh will transition to executive chairman and focus on continued innovation in the Delphix platform, strategy, vision, and key customer and partner relationships.
Most recently, Cook served as president and chief operating officer of New Relic, a software analytics leader, where he spent over four years scaling the company’s operations, leading to a successful IPO in 2014. Prior to New Relic, Cook spent four years as corporate senior vice president and general manager of CA Technologies’ application performance management division and held sales leadership positions at Quest Software and BMC Software.
Delphix recently released 5.0, the next major evolution of its flagship product, enabling customers to easily secure and mask sensitive data before migration to the cloud, and extending the platform to IBM DB2 databases and multi-node Oracle EBS deployments.
“Although we’ve grown quickly over the last seven years, we’ve only scratched the surface of the opportunity. Continuing to scale at this level really becomes a matter of talent,” said Yueh.
