Ken Tan VP Ops, Skyera

Skyera Inc. announced the hiring of Ken Tan as its vice president of operations.  

In this position, he is responsible for the worldwide supply chain and manufacturing operations for Skyera as the company ramps its skyHawk series of enterprise solid-state storage systems to meet demand in preparation for availability.

Tan brings over twenty years of global operations and supply chain expertise to Skyera. Before joining Skyera, he was the senior director of WW operations and sales operations at Micron where he conceived and implemented innovative processes that significantly improved inventory turns, customer delivery performance, and cost reduction in overall supply chain and manufacturing operations. Prior to Micron, he spent 13 years at Creative Labs as VP of operations, directly managing remote manufacturing facilities in several countries and supporting revenue growth to over $1 billion.

Tan’s first order of business is to increase manufacturing capacity and build additional inventory to reduce lead time and backlog for the pent up demand for skyHawk.

"After successfully debuting skyHawk last year and making it available to enterprise customers last November as part of our Early Access Program, we are eagerly anticipating the roll out of volume shipments to fulfill the surprisingly high demand," said Radoslav Danilak, CEO of Skyera. "Adding Ken to our executive team and leveraging his diverse operations expertise will ensure a smooth process and a keen focus on customer satisfaction as we ramp to general availability of skyHawk."

Tan graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Industrial Engineering from the University of Singapore.
