London AI firm CloudWize is expanding in the North with a base in Leeds.
The technology business has been firmly rooted in the capital since it was established in mid-2023, with co-founders Edward Humphrey (CEO) and Matt Hyde (CTO) now leading a team of 30 developers, engineers and architects.
Chief marketing officer Katie Mallinson – a former communications agency owner from Huddersfield – joined the £3 million firm in June 2025.
Now – having taken up residency in Leeds Dock’s Department – CloudWize has announced another addition to its leadership team.
Tim Mercer – former CEO of Yorkshire-headquartered Vapour Cloud – has joined CloudWize as chief commercial officer, following the sale of Vapour last summer.
