Security startup Wiz adds former Zscaler COO, plans hiring spree

Cybersecurity startup Wiz has hired Dali Rajic, former chief operating officer and president at Zscaler, as the four-year-old startup seeks to keep growing at a fast clip and eyes an eventual public listing, the company told Reuters.

Rajic, a seasoned sales executive, joined Wiz this week as its first-ever president and chief operating officer, after over four years at its larger security peer Zscaler, which went public in 2018.

Wiz, one of the fastest-growing software startups globally, also said it has reached $350 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in 2023, an important metric for software firms, after more than doubling it year-over-year.
