Rosen joins DDN during a period of exceptional momentum. Over the past six months, the company has expanded its global presence, surpassed one million GPUs deployed worldwide, introduced major innovations across its AI data intelligence platform, and is delivering more than 300% year-over-year growth as organizations around the world accelerate investments in AI infrastructure.

Most recently, she served as General Counsel at Metropolis Technologies, where she led legal strategy during a period of significant business expansion. Previously, she was Chief Legal Officer at Collibra, where she helped scale the company’s legal organization during a period of more than fivefold annual recurring revenue growth.
