Fastly

Artur Bergman previously served as CTO of Wikia (now Fandom) before starting Fastly, and was the primary driving force behind the company's founding. Frustrated with the slow deployment times and inefficiencies of existing content delivery networks, he envisioned a 'better CDN' that moved code and logic to the edge of the network. He co-founded Fastly in 2011 and has continued to serve as its CTO and a director, shaping its programmable edge platform through its 2019 IPO and beyond.

Tyler McMullen co-founded Fastly in 2011 and has been a core technical leader at the company, known for his work on its distributed systems and edge-computing architecture. He set out with the other founders to build a faster, more programmable content delivery network after experiencing the limitations of legacy CDNs. Additional verifiable detail about his earlier career could not be confirmed from public sources.

Simon Wistow co-founded Fastly in 2011 with Artur Bergman, Tyler McMullen, and Gil Penchina. He has cited the frustration of legacy CDNs — including an anecdote about a minor configuration change taking 17 hours to propagate — as motivation for building a real-time, developer-friendly edge cloud. Additional verifiable detail about his earlier career could not be confirmed from public sources.

Gil Penchina is a co-founder of Fastly, which he helped start in 2011, and is known more broadly as a technology executive and angel investor.
