Mike Munoz Board’s Director, Connected Data

The storage industry veteran will join the company’s board to provide strategic business development and go-to-market advice to the Connected Data team for a new generation of secure file, sync and share private cloud solutions.
Munoz is a 25-year Silicon Valley veteran who has built and led sales teams for some of the most accomplished technology companies in the world. Most recently, he was VP of WW sales for Nimble Storage where he built the sales team from the ground up attributing to a successful IPO. He has also worked as regional VP sales for Data Domain where he led the company’s most prosperous sales division contributing to an IPO in 2008 as well as a $2 billion acquisition by EMC in 2009. His experience also includes sales leadership positions at Z-Force, BlueArc, and NetApp. His success and leadership in building global sales from start-up to IPO brings valuable insight, direction and expertise as Connected Data challenges the status quo by architecting private cloud storage solutions that deliver the performance, protection and privacy enterprises require – while minimizing compliance risk.
 
“I’m excited to be joining the Connected Data board of directors during such a pivotal time in its growth,” said Munoz. “With its unique Transporter family of private cloud business solutions, Connected Data is distinctly positioned for rapid growth in a very hot market and I look forward to being an integral part of the company’s continued success.”

“We’re pleased to have Mike join our board as we address the demand for private cloud file storage appliances that provide the privacy, security and enterprise performance capabilities that public cloud solutions just can’t deliver,” said Geoff Barrall, CEO, Connected Data. “Mike’s proven track record in building successful global sales in emerging markets from start-up to IPO will clearly benefit Connected Data as we continue to execute on our growth strategy.”
