Omri Gazitt and Sandra Hamilton.
Portland information technology company Puppet said Tuesday it has hired two new vice presidents and promoted several other employees.
Former Hewlett-Packard Enterprise vice president Omri Gazitt will be Puppet’s first chief product officer. He joined HP in 2013 as director of the company’s Seattle site and left in November as VP of a cloud computing group. Gazitt lives in Seattle and will work and travel from there.
Puppet’s new vice president of customer success, Sandra Hamilton, had been at computing company EMC since February 2008, most recently as vice president of global services in Boston. She will continue living there, working with Puppet customers around the world.
EMC had been the parent company of VMware, which is among Puppet’s largest investors. Now, EMC and VMware are both owned by Dell Technologies.
Also Tuesday, Puppet promoted Katie Abbott to vice president of legal affairs and made Terry Wrightson vice president of the Americas for the Portland company.
Puppet’s technology helps manage large computing systems and data centers. Growing rapidly, it now employs more than 500 – most of them at its downtown Portland headquarters. Puppet is Portland’s biggest young tech company.
Puppet replaced nearly its entire executive team in 2016, including its chief executive and chief financial officers. It hired six vice presidents last year.
