PALO ALTO, Calif., June 5, 2018 — Rubrik, the Cloud Data Management Company, today announced the appointment of Shay Mowlem as Senior Vice President of Product & Strategy. Mowlem will be responsible for driving Rubrik’s global product vision, design and development, and strategy. He will report directly to Rubrik Co-founder and CEO, Bipul Sinha.
“Shay has been a driving force behind the strategy and success of some of the industry’s most prominent enterprise software companies,” said Bipul Sinha, Co-founder and CEO, Rubrik. “Rubrik is on a mission to simplify how organizations around the world keep and use their data. We are fortunate to add Shay’s experience to help lead Rubrik’s next wave of innovation and growth.”
Mowlem brings more than 20 years of experience in enterprise software and product development to Rubrik. He most recently served as Chief Marketing Officer at Mulesoft, a Salesforce Company, which provides the most widely used integration platform for connecting SaaS and enterprise applications in the cloud and on-premises. Prior to Mulesoft, he held executive product and marketing positions at Splunk, where he helped the company to rapidly elevate its leadership in the technology industry. His earlier experience includes product and marketing leadership roles at both large and high-growth technology companies, such as CA Technologies, Opsware (acquired by HP), and Portal Software (acquired by Oracle).

These executives bring deep experience across technology and software, and will help lead Rubrik through a period of hypergrowth and rapid innovation.
