Said Ouissal Head of WW Field Operations, Violin Memory

Violin Memory, Inc. announced that Said Ouissal has been named the new head of its worldwide field operations.

Since joining the company in early 2014, he had been Violin’s SVP of product management and strategy, and managed its worldwide team of system engineers.

He replaces Tom Mitchell who will stay with the company and work with Ouissal and Violin’s team to execute a seamless transition.

“Said Ouissal’s technical acumen and customer engagement experience will provide our global sales force with strategic IT insight shared by very few in our industry,” said Kevin DeNuccio, president and CEO. “As Violin delivers its all flash technology solutions, replacing traditional primary, disk-based storage in the data center, Ouissal is uniquely qualified to align customer requirements with the transition to an all flash data center.“
