Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShmulik Ladkani is a seasoned technologist and entrepreneur with 26 years of hands-on experience building and shipping complex networked and cloud systems, currently serving as Co-Founder and CTO of Hush Security. He led architecture and product design for ZTNA and SWG cloud security solutions at Proofpoint after co-founding Meta Networks and driving its acquisition, bringing deep domain expertise in cloud security, virtualization, SDN and Linux networking internals. Known for a pragmatic, keep-it-simple approach, he combines low-level systems mastery—from Linux kernel and eBPF to QEMU and Open vSwitch—with product- and customer-oriented delivery. His background spans R&D leadership at scale (leading 50 developers at Cisco) to boots-on-the-ground engineering across drivers, protocol stacks and virtual datacenter controllers. Thorough, detail-focused and results-driven, he routinely closes hard engineering gaps that others avoid. Based in Israel, he blends entrepreneurial grit with a rare mix of kernel-to-cloud technical breadth.
