Jeff Hausman COO, LiveOffice

LiveOffice announced the addition of Jeffrey W. Hausman as chief operating officer.

In his new role, Hausman will run network operations, client services, and business and people operations to support the company’s goal of further expanding its enterprise, global and partner relationships. He brings more than 10 years of product development, cloud storage and software-as-a-service (SaaS) experience from leading technology companies, including HP, Symantec and Veritas.

"Jeff’s wealth of experience in delivering quality products and services, in addition to his specific expertise in storage, archiving and SaaS, will be a major asset to LiveOffice," said Nick Mehta, LiveOffice CEO. "We are thrilled to add him to our executive team and have no doubt his expertise will help accelerate our growth in the global enterprise space."

Hausman joins LiveOffice from HP, where he most recently led the HP StorageWorks Nearline organization, delivering the StoreOnce de-duplication solutions and disk- and tape-based data protection offerings. During his tenure at HP, he also led the Unified Storage organization, focusing on scale-out block and file storage and spearheading a common storage platform that was recently released as part of the HP E5000 Exchange appliance. Previously Hausman spent more than five-and-a-half years at Symantec and Veritas, where he served as vice president and general manager of the Symantec Protection Network, the company’s SaaS platform providing security and data management solutions. He also helped successfully grow the industry-leading Enterprise Vault archiving solution. Earlier in his career, Hausman held leadership roles at several early-stage technology companies and served as a consultant to Fortune 500 clients as part of Booz & Co.

"LiveOffice has tremendous momentum as the leading cloud archiving provider, with significant growth in enterprise adoption, high partner demand and mounting international interest," said Hausman. "This is an exciting time to join LiveOffice, and I look forward to helping the company maximize opportunities for growth while continuing to deliver outstanding service reliability and performance for our customers."
