Cloudamize, a leader in cloud infrastructure analytics and cost optimization, today announced that it has raised $1 million in additional funding led by MissionOG with participation from existing investors including DreamIt Ventures. The investment will be used to expand sales and marketing efforts as well as accelerate product development. In addition, the company plans to make a number of strategic hires to continue scaling growth.
With the close of this round of funding, Jonathan Palmer, a seasoned fintech executive and director of Heartland Payment Systems, will join the company's board of directors. Jon's impressive career includes 22 years at Fidelity Bank in Philadelphia, where he rose to the level of Vice Chairman, and 15 years in entrepreneurial pursuits as CEO and investor in young companies such as Lucid Security, Wellspring Resources, Vital Processing Services and FSV Payment Systems. 'I am very excited to join the board of Cloudamize,' said Palmer. 'As someone who has been a part of much of the evolution of the IT industry, for me the promise and potential of the cloud cannot be overstated. Cloud computing has reached the tipping point for mainstream adoption even in security sensitive industries such as financial services where I have dedicated much of my career. Cloudamize is clearly in the right place at the right time.'
