Jay Cuthrell on LinkedIn: Wiz CEO: 2024 Will Be the Year of Acquisitions
🔮🧠🤖🔐☁️📊 "So definitely we believe that 2024, for us, will be the year of acquisitions" -- Assaf Rappaport, CEO of Wiz
Curiously, the same day that Google and Wiz allegedly agreed to not agree on M&A terms, there was another post that got coverage.
