Global Technical Director

Cloudian, Inc. is a US enterprise data storage company headquartered in San Mateo, California.

Having cut my teeth in IT within the financial services industry and learning the art of IT infrastructure implementation and management in the most regulated and stringent of environments. I took this experience into IT consulting and in particular Data Storage consultancy, which is an area that demands an absolute understanding of enterprise level computing with an absolute focus on eliminating risk and managing costs. Working with three different Data Storage vendor organisations has led to very different experiences. MaXXan and Compellent being in the company start up mode on my joining whereas Hitachi Data Systems offered an experience with a globally established organisation with a great reputation. I believe I have really found my niche within the startup vendor organisation, where I can utilise all my skills, be they technical, presales, sales, marketing, PR, making a great cup of tea ;-) The thing I love doing is developing individuals and teams and being at Compellent has allowed me to do this whilst also working with and being mentored by the best storage people in the industry. My other passion is to deliver world class service to everyone I meet and deal with in my professional life. Specialties: Pre-sales, sales & marketing of Technical Storage Solutions including - Networking, SAN, NAS, Data Protection, Backup and Recovery, Physical & Virtual tape Libraries.
