Rich has been appointed to develop the company’s network of channel distributors and resellers in the region and build a sales team that will establish Tintri as a key storage player in EMEA. Under his leadership, Tintri aims to extend its rapid growth trajectory and presence throughout the UK, Europe and South Africa.

“Our technology has the ability to completely change the role storage plays in the virtualised world. Leading the EMEA Tintri team offers me a rare opportunity to propel the growth of a truly transformational technology,” said Rich. “I personally expect to see Tintri become a dominant player in EMEA and a natural choice for virtualisation and cloud storage in the future. I’m pleased to be joining Tintri at such an exciting time during the company’s growth.”

Tom Ellery, Senior VP Worldwide Sales, Tintri said: “Tintri has experienced significant worldwide growth in 2013. I am very pleased with the international growth we have seen throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This growth further reinforces our market position that the simplicity of our solution, along with the cost savings by very large enterprise accounts is allowing us to attract senior leaders from the storage market. I am excited and confident that Doug’s experience as well as proven track record will enable us to scale our European business even more in the coming year.”
