“As a seasoned technology leader, I found that cloud computing expenditure was always one of the largest parts of organizations’ budgets,” said Reichert. “While I was aware there were large amounts of wasted resources in my infrastructure, I didn’t have the time or tools to find where those savings were. I’m excited to be part of a team that is focused on a singular mission of impacting companies’ bottom lines, and look forward to helping to solve that problem.”

“As a seasoned technology leader, cloud computing expenditure was always a large part of organizations’ budget,” said Reichert. “While I was aware of the vast amounts of wasted resources in the infrastructure, I didn’t have the bandwidth and necessary tools to find imperative savings on cost and I am excited to be part of a team focused on this singular mission. I have first-hand experience in understanding how cloud cost has a massive impact on the bottom line and I am eager to help solve that problem with the Yotascale team.”
A strong believer in building values-first organizations, Reichert’s management philosophy has resulted in happy, healthy teams with exceptionally high retention rates even in highly competitive markets. This correlates with Yotascale’s employee-first focus, a core value for CEO, Asim Razzaq. Reichert holds a B.S. in Mathematics with a concentration in modern physics from the University of San Francisco.
“We are thrilled to have Jake join our team,” said Razzaq, co-founder and CEO of Yotascale. “The addition of Jake’s management style and values-first philosophy ties right in with our focus on empowering engineers with the right information to make the best decisions around their trusted cloud cost management platform.”
