Maureen Weber Senior VP Business Development at Spare Backup
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Mon, May 19th, 2008
She was GM of the Personal Storage Business in HP's Personal Systems Group.
Before joining Spare Backup, Weber served as the General Manager of the Personal Storage Business in Hewlett Packard's Personal Systems Group. While at HP, Weber managed a profitable personal storage accessories and media business and was responsible for positioning HP in leading edge storage technologies such as DVD+RW and Blu-ray Disc. Weber was also responsible for creating strategic alliances for HP with major companies in the consumer electronics, consumer software and entertainment industries. During her tenure at HP, she served two years as the Chair of the Blu-ray Disc Association's Global Promotions Committee.
"Maureen's experience in personal storage, not to mention her understanding of the industry and the trends that are driving it, make her a tremendous asset to Spare Backup," said Spare Backup CEO, Cery Perle. "Additionally, her track record as a manager of successful and profitable business groups in a very competitive environment enables her to take front line responsibility in a number of areas, freeing me up to focus on the overall growth and positioning of the company."
Weber, who will split time between the company's Palm Desert headquarters and Ft. Collins, Colorado, will manage Spare Backup's SAN development program, assist in the development of new product and business lines, manage and develop strategic alliances and oversee Project Hawk, a new initiative aimed at extending Spare Backup's popular and easy to use features to enterprise architectures.
"Whether by design or simply as a matter of circumstance, individuals and small businesses increasingly rely on electronic rather than paper files, and it's no secret that photo, music and video libraries have been growing exponentially, making storage and backup a growth industry for the foreseeable future," said Weber. "Spare Backup has set the bar in terms of ease of use and convenience and it's exciting to be on the front edge of an industry that will become increasingly critical as the sheer volume of personal and commercial digital data continues to grow."
