Komodor bolsters leadership for AI driven SRE growth

Komodor has appointed Ziv Harfenist as Chief Financial Officer and promoted Yogev Goldis to Chief People Officer as the company expands its AI-based site reliability engineering platform for cloud-native infrastructure.

The company said Harfenist will oversee global finance, operations and business planning. Goldis will take responsibility for talent strategy, leadership development, organisational culture and global workforce planning.

Komodor sells software used by engineering and operations teams that run applications on cloud-native infrastructure. The company describes its product as an AI-driven SRE platform. SRE refers to site reliability engineering, a discipline focused on maintaining availability and performance of software services.

Komodor named several customers including Cisco, Dell, OpenTable, Priceline and Rockwell Automation.

Finance appointment

Harfenist most recently served as Vice President of Finance and Operations at Aqua Security. Komodor said he led revenue expansion initiatives, multiple fundraising rounds, debt financing and M&A activities in that role.

He previously held senior financial planning and analysis leadership roles at Check Point Software Technologies. He also led regional and EMEA finance teams at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, according to the company.

The company's Chief Executive framed the changes as part of a shift in scale. "These appointments strengthen Komodor's leadership team at a critical juncture in our evolution, as we transition from a start-up to a thriving enterprise," said Ben Ofiri, CEO, Komodor. "Ziv's experience scaling finance and operations in high-growth security companies, combined with Yogev's proven leadership in building strong, global teams, positions us well as we continue to expand our business and serve large enterprises running cloud-native infrastructure at scale."

Komodor described Harfenist's remit as broad, covering corporate finance and operational planning. That scope reflects a common structure in venture-backed software companies, where finance leaders also manage business operations and internal planning.

Harfenist linked his move to the company's product direction.

"Komodor is redefining how organizations operate and manage cloud-native infrastructure using AI," said Harfenist. "I'm excited to join at this stage of the company's trajectory and help build the financial and operational foundations to support long-term scale, disciplined execution, and continued product innovation."

People leadership

Goldis will take on the Chief People Officer role as Komodor grows its workforce and expands internationally. The company said his responsibilities will cover hiring strategy, leadership development and culture.

Before joining Komodor, Goldis held senior HR and talent leadership roles at what the company described as a top cyber company and at Gett. Komodor said he supported large-scale growth, global R&D hiring and organisational development in previous roles.

Goldis said the company's approach to hiring and culture would remain a central focus. "Our people and culture are core to Komodor's success," said Goldis. "As we scale globally, my focus will remain on building high-performing teams, strengthening leadership, and maintaining our industry-leading culture of technical innovation and customer-first execution."

Product focus

Komodor positions its platform around automated incident investigation and operational workflows for cloud-native environments. The company cited AI-driven triage, automated remediation, autonomous failure prevention and cost optimisation among the product areas it addresses.

The firm said it has raised USD $90 million in venture funding from investors in the US and EMEA. Komodor did not disclose revenue, profitability or headcount alongside the executive appointments.

The appointments come as many software teams increase investment in reliability tooling and operational automation. Complex application architectures, frequent releases and expanding cloud infrastructure have increased the number of alerts, incidents and changes that SRE and platform teams need to manage.

Komodor said Harfenist will oversee business planning while the company scales. Goldis will lead people strategy as the company expands its global workforce.
