Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), provider of a global edge cloud
platform, today announced that Artur Bergman has transitioned from
his role as Chief Executive Officer to the role of Chief Architect
and Executive Chairperson. Joshua Bixby, the President of Fastly,
succeeds Mr. Bergman as CEO. Fastly also announced today that Board
member David Hornik has been appointed Lead Independent
Director.
In his full-time role as Chief Architect and Executive
Chairperson, Mr. Bergman will continue to collaborate closely with
Mr. Bixby as he transitions into the role of CEO. He will help
oversee the long-term strategic direction of the company, while
also renewing his focus on product development, working closely
with developers and customers. Mr. Bixby, who has served as
President of Fastly since 2017, has the extensive corporate
leadership experience and significant technological acumen required
to lead Fastly into its next stage of growth.
“I have always been deeply committed to delivering a secure,
reliable and developer-oriented edge cloud platform and growing our
company values-first,” said Bergman. “As CEO, it has been exciting
to lead and grow the business into what it is today, especially
through our transition to a public company. We have seen tremendous
growth over the past few years and I believe Fastly is
well-positioned to capture the significant opportunity ahead of us.
As a developer at heart, my passions lie in building the
architecture and innovation that will allow Fastly to continue to
grow. Now is the right time for me to transition into a new role
and hand the reins to Fastly’s next leader. I have collaborated
with Joshua on every aspect of the business for over six years now.
His passion, deep understanding, and knowledge of the business make
this transition a natural fit, and will be key as we continue to
build on our momentum.”
“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to step into the CEO role
as we further our mission to make it easier for innovators to
deliver,” said Bixby. “As we begin our second fiscal year as a
public company, we are focused on continuing to drive strong
customer growth and engagement through enhanced products and
services, including our Compute@Edge and security offerings.” Mr.
Bixby continued, “I am grateful for the confidence that the Board
and Artur have placed in me. Artur built Fastly into an innovative,
high-growth company poised for long-term success. I look forward to
continuing to collaborate with him and other members of the
management team as we execute our strategy.”
“I have had the pleasure of working closely with Artur and
Joshua for more than six years now,” said David Hornik. “Artur has
done a phenomenal job growing Fastly’s customer base, increasing
revenue and gross margin, and most importantly, expanding our
product offerings for our customers. I am confident that in his new
role as Chief Architect and Executive Chairperson, Artur will drive
further enhancements across our portfolio of offerings, providing
an even better experience for all customers. Joshua has been an
invaluable member of the team, working closely with Artur across
the business and on our long-term strategy, and he has the full
confidence of the Board to lead Fastly into the future. On behalf
of the Board, we all look forward to working with them both as we
continue to build on the positive momentum that Artur established.”
Mr. Hornik added, “I am also pleased to assume the role of Lead
Independent Director in order to help ensure that our Board
continues to follow best practices and function effectively as
Fastly works to build a trustworthy internet.”
