Joe Gately EVP of WW Sales and Field Operations, Nasuni

Nasuni Corp. announced the appointment of Joe Gately as the company’s EVP of WW sales and field operations.

He is an executive and entrepreneur with experience in senior management roles at technology companies, from growing startups to mature organizations operating at a $300 million revenue run rate. At Nasuni, he will oversee the company’s global sales, marketing and field operations teams as it continues to expand domestically and internationally.

Prior to joining Nasuni, Gately led the buyout of ByteSphere, where he served as CEO until the company’s successful acquisition by EXFO. He served in a variety of senior sales and general management roles at BMC Software, Mazu Networks (acquired by Riverbed), and GiantLoop Networks. He was an early sales and marketing leader at EMC, where he helped lead the company into the storage market. He also founded two successful companies, including Linux Communications, in unified communications, which was acquired by one of its outside investors.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing and Management Information Systems from the University of Rhode Island.

“Nasuni is in a great position,” Gately said. “IT organizations are facing massive pain around the exponential growth of untructured data and files, and the sharing of that information across the globe. Nasuni is the only solution that can effectively move that workload to the cloud, provide 100% resiliency and make those files available to any user, anywhere and on any device, improving sharing and collaboration. The company grew 300% last year, and I fully expect that kind of growth for the foreseeable future. There’s just so much opportunity out there.”

“Joe has seen it all: big companies, startups, fast growing markets, direct sales, channel and just about every aspect of technology sales there is,” said Andres Rodriguez, CEO. “We’re reaching an inflection point at Nasuni. Demand for Cloud NAS is accelerating. Joe is just the person we need to expand our sales force, both here and overseas, and align our complete go-to-market strategy to meet that rapidly growing demand.”
