Shimon Tolts

Co-Founder and CEO of Copperhelm

Previously as the CEO and Co-Founder of Datree, a Y Combinator-backed startup, I lead a team of engineers and developers who are on a mission to prevent misconfigurations in Kubernetes, the most popular cloud-native platform. With over five years of experience in building and scaling Datree, I have developed a deep expertise in Kubernetes security, cloud-native technologies, and AWS services.

I am also passionate about sharing my knowledge and insights with the global cloud community. I am a CNCF Ambassador, a co-organizer of the Israeli chapter and KCD events, and an AWS Community Hero, leading the Israeli community with 8,000 members. I co-organize UpWards PLG, a founder group for product-led growth startups. I enjoy writing and speaking about cloud-native best practices, AWS optimization, and Kubernetes challenges.
