MIAMI, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Highrise AI ("Highrise" or the "Company"), a GPU-native infrastructure platform designed for production-scale AI workloads, today announced the appointment of Paul Berman as Vice President of Cloud Sales. The appointment comes as demand for dedicated GPU infrastructure accelerates and Highrise scales deployments across its platform. Berman will lead go-to-market and strategic partnerships across North America and Europe as Highrise enters its next phase of commercial growth.

Berman brings more than two decades of enterprise technology sales leadership and a track record of scaling revenue at early-stage and growth-stage companies. Throughout his career, he has served as a first or early go-to-market hire, building enterprise sales organizations and guiding companies from initial deployments to multimillion-dollar recurring revenue businesses.

Most recently, Berman served as Vice President of Go-to-Market at PaleBlueDot AI, where he worked with AI startups, model developers, research labs, and enterprise teams deploying large-scale AI workloads. In that role, he focused on early enterprise adoption and strategic partnerships across the emerging GPU infrastructure ecosystem. He now brings that experience to Highrise as the company expands dedicated GPU deployments globally.

Vince Fong, Co-Founder and CEO of Highrise AI, said: "AI workloads are moving rapidly from experimentation into production, driving demand for infrastructure that delivers predictable performance, uncompromising security, and the ability to scale reliably. Highrise was built for this reality. As demand accelerates, we are expanding our commercial organization to better support enterprise deployments and deepen relationships with customers building large-scale AI systems. Paul has built and scaled go-to-market teams for high-growth infrastructure platforms, and his experience will be instrumental as we capture this opportunity."

Paul Berman, Vice President of Cloud Sales at Highrise AI, said: "We are seeing strong demand from both AI-native companies and enterprises seeking alternatives to shared cloud environments. As workloads mature, many teams are prioritizing dedicated GPU infrastructure that gives them greater control over performance, cost, and security. Highrise provides that foundation, and I look forward to working with customers and partners to help them build long-term infrastructure strategies and scale deployments on the Highrise platform."
