SAN FRANCISCO, March 19 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Vercel, the agentic infrastructure company, today announced the appointment of Mitchell Hashimoto, co-founder of HashiCorp and creator of industry-defining open source tools including Terraform and Vagrant, to its board of directors. Hashimoto brings a rare combination of developer community credibility, open source leadership, and company-building experience at scale.
Hashimoto co-founded HashiCorp in 2012, where he served as a principal architect and engineering leader behind some of the most widely adopted infrastructure tools in the world. Terraform, which he created, has become the de facto standard for infrastructure-as-code and is used by organizations of every scale, including Vercel itself. IBM acquired HashiCorp in 2024 in a transaction valued at approximately $6.4 billion. After departing HashiCorp, Hashimoto launched Ghostty, a GPU-accelerated, platform-native terminal emulator that quickly became a market leader among AI developers since its public release in December 2024.
