Storwize Inc. has appointed Daniel J. Marshall as Vice President, Worldwide Sales.

Marshall brings twenty-plus years of success in building and directing sales organizations with products and services offered to traditional open systems, client/server marketplace and internet related businesses, including more than 16 years of executive-level experience in creating aggressive and successful global sales organizations. He reports to Storwize CEO Gal Naor.

"I am excited by this opportunity and there could be no better time to be joining Storwize, given the market need for capacity optimization technology and the strength of the Storwize technology portfolio," said Marshall. "The stress on IT budgets is making it absolutely critical that organizations become more creative in maximizing the ROI of their storage spending and Storwize capacity optimization technology is an enabler in helping companies achieve that goal."

"We are delighted to add an executive with Daniel’s proven record of achievement to spearhead the next phase of worldwide sales expansion for Storwize," said Naor. "Our global sales operations are in very good hands as we move forward in 2009."

At Omneon Marshall orchestrated a sales revival, boosting gross margins to 62 percent and landing new customers, including News Corp., NBC Universal, the Walt Disney Co. and the BBC. The sales resurgence resulted in the company returning to profitability two years ahead of schedule. Prior to Omneon, Marshall was a co-founder and Vice President of Sales for Storageway, a managed storage services provider, where he took the company from launch to annualized revenue of $19 million in less than a year. He previously held sales executive positions with similar records of success at MTI Corp., Mylex Corp. and Kalok Corp.
