As a result of the urgent demand for API security, Noname has signed four large enterprise customers in Europe and eight channel partners in the UK, France, Benelux and Germany - while growing its presence on the ground in those regions - in a short time frame. Oz Golan, CEO and Co-founder said: “Dirk has proven experience in launching new technologies in Europe and taking start-up companies to an IPO phase. His track record speaks for itself.
