(firmenpresse) - SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/07/16 -- , the worldwide leader in infrastructure for software management and distribution, today announced a strategic new addition to its executive team to accelerate its growth in the DevOps market. Kit Merker has joined the JFrog team as vice president of Business Development, bringing a deep background in enterprise software and in-depth knowledge of container and cloud-native services, to further develop JFrog's ability to improve the developer's life.
Merker comes to JFrog from Google, where he served as a product manager for the Google Container Engine, Container Registry, Cloud Launcher and the Kubernetes project, as well as an advocate for container & cloud native technologies.

"Using open source software has become the only way to remain competitive in the software game. The more phones, devices, endpoints, services, applications and drones that we see in the world controlled by binaries, the greater the need to manage the complexity to keep those systems running. I believe in what JFrog is doing. JFrog has a powerful platform with a committed customer base and partner ecosystem. I'm honored and excited to play a role to help grow the business."
