Wiz launches London office, plots local hiring blitz

Cybersecurity start-up looking to double UK workforce over coming months

A cloud security vendor with the tag of the fastest-growing start-up in history is planning a UK hiring blitz after opening a London office.

Wiz plans to double its UK/EMEA workforce from its current tally of “several dozen employees” over the coming months.

The hires will be in the areas of sales, marketing and customer success, as well as engineering.

The move comes after Wiz famously snubbed a $23bn takeover approach from Google parent Alphabet in July, and three months after it raised $1bn at a $12bn valuation. The Israeli firm’s annual recurring revenues hit $350m in 2023.

Wiz wants to generate 35% of its revenues from EMEA by the end of 2025.

Co-founder and VP of R&D Roy Reznik recently relocated to the UK to lead the office opening, grow the R&D centre, and spearhead engineer recruitment, Wiz stressed.

Wiz first publicised plans to open a UK office as far back as 2021. These were “merely intentions, but now it’s official,” a company representative told IT Channel Oxygen.

“The UK is a region with many leading global brands and top tech talent, which is why we see it as key to the growth and expansion of Wiz,” Reznik said in a statement the company sent us.

“Organisations in this market are embracing the cloud and capitalising on the transformative impact of AI; Wiz is committed to partnering alongside them to ensure they are able to do so securely, at speed.

“At the same time, with only 10% of workloads having migrated to the cloud so far, we see near limitless growth potential. The evolving regulatory and threat landscape in Europe make it more important than ever to protect everything you build and run in the cloud.”
