Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, s0x serves start-up, small and medium business (SMB), and enterprise customers across a range of industries.

Gallo, Lucid Group, Shell, Siden, State of California, among others.

The company has deep expertise in helping organizations build and manage cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Notably, s0x is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and has advanced skills in the areas of DevOps, cloud migration, and modernization, including infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), containerization, and serverless computing. Gartner, Inc. forecasts IaaS to experience the highest end-user spending growth in 2022 at 30.6%.

Shaun Ritchie will lead s0x as its CEO in its next phase of growth. Mr. Ritchie is an experienced operator and entrepreneur who has founded and run multiple successful technology companies. Scott Jensen, Kelly Chamberlain, and Adam Wardel will also join the s0x management team in executive roles. Jatinder “JT” Giri, s0x’ co-founder, will remain with the company as an advisor.

“I am thrilled at the opportunity to join the s0x team,” said Mr. Ritchie. “JT has built an exceptional organization with differentiated delivery capabilities and scalable process that maintains superior quality. The addition of Scott, Kelly, and Adam to the talented team already in place will allow us to accelerate growth and deliver even more value to customers.”

Brian Gornick, Co-founder and Managing Partner of CTC, added, “We believe that we are still in the early innings of the transition to the public cloud, and we expect high growth rates in the sector to continue. We couldn’t be more excited about the team we are partnering with and the opportunities ahead for s0x.”

“I am excited about the acquisition,” said Ameya Talwalkar, Co-founder & Chief Product Officer at Cequence Security, an s0x customer. “s0x has built a successful business model based on a customer-first culture, outstanding customer experience, and technical skills – and a close relationship with AWS that has enabled them to bring enormous value to our cloud journey. The relationship with CTC and an expanded, seasoned leadership team enables this model to scale rapidly.”
