 With a proven record for developing and managing distribution channels and a strong storage sales background, both across EMEA and worldwide, Vince will be responsible for designing and executing Kaminario’s regional channel strategy, including recruiting and building teams in various countries and identifying and appointing channel partners.
 
“Kaminario is a very ambitious company and we wanted to be absolutely confident we were bringing on board the right person for the job, someone who has built a successful channel organization from scratch and who has the contacts and experience to hit the ground running. Vince is that person,” said Dani Golan, founder and CEO of Kaminario. “The channel is our chosen route to market and we are committed to ensuring that each partner we select will have the support it requires to take our technology and use it to make a significant difference to its customers.”
 
Vince joins Kaminario from Pure Storage, where he served as channel director for EMEA. In that role, he expanded the channel team and grew channel-led revenues year-on-year, expanding both the customer base and internal headcount. Prior to that, Vince has held senior EMEA and global channel roles with world-class companies including Dell, CommVault, VERITAS and Computer Associates.
 
“This is a particularly exciting time to be joining Kaminario as we have just announced the new version of our K2 array, which has already generated an impressive amount of interest in the market. I am looking forward to playing a pivotal role as we expand our footprint and market penetration across the globe,” said Vince Blackall. “I truly believe that the channel is a vital growth enabler for a company such as Kaminario and I plan to build a team that will work closely with all our prospective resellers to ensure mutually-beneficial, long-term relationships.”
