New York, NY: Minimus, a provider of\u00a0hardened container images<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0secure container images<\/a>\u00a0designed to reduce CVE risk, today announced the appointment of Yael Nardi as Chief Business Officer (CBO). In this newly created role, Nardi will lead the company\u2019s next phase of operations, overseeing top-of-funnel growth strategy, strategic operations, and future corporate development.<\/p>\n

As the market landscape evolves and AI affects customer acquisition, Minimus is implementing an operational model to scale marketing and strategic alliances, which will be managed by Nardi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are entering a phase of aggressive expansion that requires rigorous execution and a completely new playbook. Traditional marketing strategies are no longer enough in today\u2019s fast-moving environment. We need an operational powerhouse at the helm. Yael is a world-class operator accustomed to zero-error environments and high-stakes execution. We are choosing intelligence, speed, and strategic alignment, and there is no one I trust more to run this machine.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Ben Bernstein, CEO at Minimus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nardi brings a multidisciplinary background to Minimus, with over 15 years of experience advising high-growth startups, global investors, and technology corporations. Most recently, she served as Director at Meitar NY Inc. and Partner at Meitar Law Offices. Yael was leading the significant M&A transaction of Twistlock\u2019s acquisition by Palo Alto Networks and others, (PANW)\u2014a foundational deal in the container image hardening and runtime security space\u2014as well as transactions involving Wiz, JFrog, Salesforce, and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have worked with the Minimus team through some of their most critical milestones, and I know firsthand the massive potential of their technology. The demand for\u00a0near-zero CVE container images<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0minimal container images<\/a>\u00a0with built-in security is only accelerating. Scaling a company in today\u2019s environment requires the same 24\/7 rigor, vendor accountability, and strategic precision as closing a major M&A deal. I am thrilled to step into this operational role and build the growth engine that will drive Minimus\u2019s next chapter.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Yael Nardi, Chief Business Officer, Minimus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nardi holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Tel Aviv University and will be based in Minimus\u2019s New York City office. She will work with the executive leadership team to execute the company\u2019s growth targets.<\/p>\n
