Push Technology, the pioneer and leader in real-time data streaming and messaging solutions, today announced the appointments of Duncan Powell, CFO, Sanjai Maramidaiah, CPO, and Scott McCormick, VP Sales North America. All three are based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The executive team has been strengthened following the company’s strong 2020 momentum, product enhancements, and Series A funding round.
In 2020, Push launched a Kafka Adapter, a solution which handles the complexities and addresses the challenges of Kafka data management, control and security over the network edge; the company completed a £10 million Series A round of financing; and the development team released Diffusion 6.5, the latest version of its Intelligent Data Mesh, and a new REST API which allows developers to scale an application to tens of thousands of users in minutes using any programming language that can make an HTTP request. In addition, to help other organizations cope with the cost of critical development projects and ongoing operations during the pandemic, Push provided Diffusion Cloud free to both new and existing clients, regardless of usage volumes.
