"I am privileged to be leading the teams across the UK, Ireland and the Middle East as MapR experiences its highest ever growth across the globe,” said Tarantino. “Organisations across the region have been fast to recognise the benefits of a Converged Data Platform, be that to develop better healthcare, detect fraud in real-time or gain a complete view of every customer; the list of use cases is endless. With an added focus on teaming up with our key partners, I look forward to servicing growing customer demand, accelerating our momentum and continuing to work with great people."
