New York, USA, April 7th, 2026, CyberNewswire

Minimus, the premier source for secured container images has unveiled that Yaell Nardi has joined as Chief Business Officer (CBO). Through this move, Nardi will architect the company’s next phase of scale and growth, focusing aggressively on growth strategies and operation
As the market landscape evolves and AI reshapes customer acquisition, Minimus is pioneering an “operational powerhouse” model, which will be lead by Nardi to aggressively scale the marketing funnel and other strategic alliances.
“We are entering a phase of aggressive expansion that requires rigorous execution and a completely new playbook. Traditional marketing strategies are no longer enough in today’s fast-moving environment. We need an operational powerhouse at the helm. Yael is a world-class operator accustomed to zero-error environments and high-stakes execution. We are choosing intelligence, speed, and strategic alignment, and there is no one I trust more to run this machine.” – Ben Bernstein, CEO at Minimus
Nardi brings on a ton of experience from working with various high-growth startups for over 15 years, managing tech operations, onboarding investors and dealing with operations. Previously, Yael served as Partner and Director at Meitar NY Inc. Widely recognized in the Israeli tech ecosystem, Nardi was the lead corporate lawyer behind some of the industry’s most significant M&A transactions such as Twistlock’s acquisition by Palo Alto Networks (PANW) as well as major deals involving Jfrog, Wiz, Salesforce, and others.
“I have worked with the Minimus team through some of their most critical milestones, and I know firsthand the massive potential of their technology. The demand for near-zero CVE container images and minimal container images with built-in security is only accelerating. Scaling a company in today’s environment requires the same 24/7 rigor, vendor accountability, and strategic precision as closing a major M&A deal. I am thrilled to step into this operational role and build the growth engine that will drive Minimus’s next chapter.” – Yael Nardi, Chief Business Officer, Minimus
Nardi, who holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Tel Aviv University, will be based out of Minimus’s New York City office. She will work closely alongside the executive leadership team to execute on the company’s aggressive growth targets.
