Pivot3, Inc. expanded its sales leadership with Dan Flood joining as VP of U.S. sales.

In his role, he will lead company’s U.S. sales teams to drive the company’s growth in the enterprise and commercial datacenter markets.

He joins Pivot3 from Dell EMC where he served as VP sales for its modern datacenter division (MDC) for the Americas global accounts team, a $1.2 billion sector of business that represents Dell EMC’s storage, converged infrastructure, HCI and hybrid cloud portfolios. Prior to that, he was at Virtual Computing Environment (VCE), which became Dell EMC’s converged platforms and solutions division. There he led the growth of the enterprise and commercial sales and operations business to $500 million annual revenue. VCE was the top performing division in the company, with Flood helping to grow it from a joint venture start-up to more than $1 billion in business for Dell EMC, Cisco and VMware. Before that, he worked more than 13 years at Dell EMC ending as enterprise sales executive.

“Dan brings a wealth of knowledge, energy and experience to Pivot3, including first-hand insight into the complexities and challenges our customers face in building a modern datacenter,” said Rance Poehler, chief revenue officer, Pivot3. “As we grow our sales organization, Dan’s ability to go deep into markets, navigate executive and committee sales and create exponential growth will be essential for the next phase of our expansion. We welcome him to our team and are pleased Pivot3 can attract top-tier industry talent to support our continued rapid growth.”

In his 20 years of experience, Flood has managed sales teams and general business operations for solutions and services across storage, server, network, converged infrastructure, HCI and hybrid cloud markets. As VP of U.S. sales, he will help expand and grow the company’s channel program and go-to-market strategy while leading the company’s sales teams to create new revenue streams with IT transformation and datacenter modernization initiatives.

“Pivot3’s ability to support mission-critical use cases at enterprise scale is unlike anything else in the industry,” he said. “As we enter the next wave of enterprise digital transformation, I’m excited to be working alongside and leading the Pivot3 sales team. The team is dedicated to helping customers experience the true potential of intelligent infrastructure with solutions that are secure, resilient and scalable, and addressing the changing needs of the modern datacenter.“
