“Martin will play a key role in growing Panasas’ global leadership in the high performance hybrid scaleout NAS market,” said Bill Ribera, vice president of worldwide sales at Panasas. “We’re known for delivering high performance storage solutions that give our customers a competitive edge and Martin’s track record of building customer-centric sales teams supports this approach.”

Eves has more than 20 years of EMEA sales experience in the IT solutions and storage marketplace. Prior to joining Panasas, Eves held senior leadership positions for the communications and cloud service industries at Oracle, where he was responsible for driving the telecommunications, cloud service provider and independent software vendor (ISV) businesses.
