Unqork, the AI-first enterprise development platform, has announced the appointment of Jeremy Burton to its Board of Directors. Burton brings decades of executive leadership at some of the most influential infrastructure and data companies in the industry — and most recently, a first-hand track record of scaling an AI-powered observability startup to rapid growth before its acquisition by Snowflake. His appointment comes as Unqork enters an aggressive phase of expansion, deepening its AI capabilities and extending its global footprint.
A Career Built at the Intersection of Infrastructure and Scale
Burton's career spans senior leadership and board roles at companies that shaped the modern enterprise technology stack. He has held major positions at Snowflake, Veritas, Symantec, EMC, Dell Technologies, and Oracle Corporation — leading multi-billion-dollar business units, shaping product portfolios at scale, and building some of the most enduring technology brands in the infrastructure and data sectors.
Most recently, Burton served as CEO of Observe, an AI-powered observability company, where he partnered with the founding team to establish product-market fit and drove several years of triple-digit revenue growth — ultimately leading the business to an acquisition by Snowflake. Outside technology, Burton also serves as an advisor to the McLaren Formula 1 team, which won its most recent World Championship in 2025.
"We are thrilled to welcome Jeremy as we aggressively expand our platform's AI capabilities and our global footprint. Jeremy's experience scaling category-defining platforms at high-growth software businesses will be invaluable."
— Gary Hoberman, CEO & Founder, Unqork
Why Unqork — and Why Now
For Burton, the appeal of Unqork is rooted in the specific challenge it solves at the intersection of two of the most pressing enterprise concerns today: AI adoption and governance risk. As enterprises accelerate the deployment of AI agents and applications, concerns around security, compliance, and auditability have escalated significantly — and Unqork's architecture is built to address them from the ground up. Rather than retrofitting governance onto applications after they are built, Unqork's no-code, AI-first platform embeds enterprise-grade governance and security controls directly into the development and deployment process.
"With the rise of AI, we have already seen a growing number of security and governance concerns in the enterprise. Unqork's approach is incredibly compelling, because it ensures applications and agents are built and deployed with enterprise-grade governance and security. I am excited to partner with a team that has a vision built for a rapidly changing technology landscape."

About Unqork: The AI-First Enterprise Development Platform
Founded by Gary Hoberman in 2017, Unqork enables large enterprises to build, deploy, and manage complex software applications without writing traditional code. Its visual, no-code development environment is used by some of the world's largest organisations in financial services, insurance, government, and healthcare — industries where regulatory compliance, auditability, and the ability to adapt quickly to policy changes are non-negotiable. The platform's design philosophy — that enterprise applications should be built on a fully abstracted, governed layer rather than layers of custom code — positions it as a natural fit for the era of AI agents, where the speed of deployment makes governance infrastructure even more critical than before.
Expanding AI Capabilities Across the Enterprise
Burton's board appointment signals the next strategic chapter for Unqork: a period of intensified investment in AI-native capabilities and global market expansion. As enterprises increasingly seek platforms that can orchestrate AI agents, manage agentic workflows, and maintain compliance across complex multi-jurisdictional environments, Unqork's combination of no-code agility and enterprise governance places it at the centre of one of the most competitive and consequential battles in enterprise software. Burton's pattern recognition — from scaling infrastructure and data platforms through multiple technology cycles — is the kind of perspective Unqork's board needs as it navigates that expansion.
