Berliner Tageblatt - Yael Nardi Joins Minimus As Chief Business Officer to Drive Hyper-Growth

As the market landscape evolves and AI affects customer acquisition, Minimus is implementing an operational model to scale marketing and strategic alliances, which will be managed by Nardi.

“We are entering a phase of aggressive expansion that requires rigorous execution and a completely new playbook. Traditional marketing strategies are no longer enough in today’s fast-moving environment. We need an operational powerhouse at the helm. Yael is a world-class operator accustomed to zero-error environments and high-stakes execution. We are choosing intelligence, speed, and strategic alignment, and there is no one I trust more to run this machine.” - Ben Bernstein, CEO at Minimus

Nardi brings a multidisciplinary background to Minimus, with over 15 years of experience advising high-growth startups, global investors, and technology corporations. Most recently, she served as Director at Meitar NY Inc. and Partner at Meitar Law Offices. Nardi was the lead corporate lawyer behind several significant M&A transactions, including Twistlock’s acquisition by Palo Alto Networks (PANW) - a foundational deal in the container image hardening and runtime security space - as well as transactions involving Wiz, JFrog, Salesforce, and others.

“I have worked with the Minimus team through some of their most critical milestones, and I know firsthand the massive potential of their technology. The demand for near-zero CVE container images and minimal container images with built-in security is only accelerating. Scaling a company in today’s environment requires the same 24/7 rigor, vendor accountability, and strategic precision as closing a major M&A deal. I am thrilled to step into this operational role and build the growth engine that will drive Minimus’s next chapter.” - Yael Nardi, Chief Business Officer, Minimus

Nardi holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Tel Aviv University and will be based in Minimus’s New York City office. She will work with the executive leadership team to execute the company’s growth targets.
