Senior Vice President of People

Cloudinary was founded in 2012 to solve a simple problem: making it an easy platform to manage images & videos. Over the years we evolved into a $120 million+ annual recurring revenue business serving 10,000 companies across industries – from the smallest Shopify stores to iconic brands like Nike and other worldwide companies.

Cloudinary is now the foundational technology for all images and videos on the internet. Only we provide robust, flexible, and intelligent solutions for every business in the world to harness the power of visual media to tell its story. As a single source of truth for brands’ image and video needs, we also provide a comprehensive array of APIs and integrations to transform every brand into a masterful visual storyteller.

If images and video are the electricity powering the new digital world, Cloudinary is the power grid: enabling anyone to easily plug in and “light up” their business with high-impact visual media, without worrying about the science behind the electrical current.
