Mirantis Adds to Leadership Team to Accelerate Revenue and Enhance Customer Engagement

Veteran executives Richard Borenstein and Jerry Ibrahim join Mirantis to strengthen partnerships and enhance technical sales execution

CAMPBELL, Calif., June 10, 2025 — Mirantis, the Kubernetes-native AI infrastructure company enabling enterprises to build and operate scalable, secure, and sovereign AI infrastructure across any environment, today announced the appointments of two newly created roles – Richard Borenstein as senior vice president of business development and Jerry Ibrahim as chief technology officer, go-to-market (CTO, GTM).

Borenstein will spearhead the company’s growth strategy and evolution of its partner ecosystem, driving high-impact alliances and strategic expansion. Ibrahim will drive technical sales alignment and field engagement to ensure Mirantis delivers effective solutions that meet evolving market demands.

"With expanding enterprise adoption of open source infrastructure, we’re investing in leadership that can deepen partner collaboration and translate technical capability into business value," said Alex Freedland, CEO of Mirantis. “Richard and Jerry bring the kind of seasoned, results-oriented leadership that will help Mirantis accelerate growth at scale. Their experience building partnerships and driving technical alignment with customer goals is exactly what is needed to accelerate growth, improve engagement, and increase adoption of Mirantis’ technologies."

Borenstein brings decades of hands-on experience building and scaling high-impact strategic alliances and go-to-market initiatives with some of the world’s leading technology companies. Most recently, as chief business development officer at RingCentral, he architected global partnerships that significantly expanded the company’s brand presence and international reach.

Ibrahim, a seasoned technology executive with more than 30 years of experience innovating and transforming large multi-national enterprises, will align technical strategy with customer priorities across Mirantis’ go-to-market activities. He joins Mirantis after serving for the past year as an advisor to the company. Prior to that, Ibrahim was IT CTO at VMware, and has held executive roles at Tesla, Align Technology, and Juniper Networks.

These new appointments support Mirantis' broader mission to help customers reduce cloud complexity and maintain control over their infrastructure. As demand grows for vendor-neutral solutions that can operate across clouds and at the edge, Mirantis is aligning its leadership to accelerate customer onboarding, expand service capabilities, and drive sustainable revenue growth.
