Kris Meier VP of Product Management, InfiniteIO

InfiniteIO, Inc. is expanding its hybrid cloud solutions by appointing two new executives.

Kris Meier was named VP of product management, responsible for advancing the company’s vision for leveraging storage metadata in the network to optimize cost savings and performance everywhere in the hybrid cloud.

Liem Nguyen joined InfiniteIO as VP marketing, responsible for all aspects of marketing including brand awareness, demand generation, digital marketing and corporate communications.

“Implementing hybrid-cloud strategies has proven to be more difficult than expected for the enterprise because of the performance constraints and challenges of integrating cloud storage with on-premises storage,” said Mark Cree, CEO and co-founder. “InfiniteIO is accelerating the industry transition to hybrid clouds by offering a simpler approach to data management, and we look forward to boarder reach with the addition of two proven industry veterans to our team.“

InfiniteIO also moved its Austin, TX, HQs to a new office and technology center that is four times the size of its previous offices. The company is hiring in Austin as it continues to invest in software development, partner integration, sales and marketing. The new InfiniteIO office address is 11305 Four Points Drive, Building 1, Suite 250, Austin, TX 78726.

In his role defining company’s hybrid cloud storage solutions, Meier brings more than 20 years of product management and development experience delivering networking and storage solutions at companies such as NetApp, Intel, Dell and HP.

“While enterprise and IT leaders are striving to integrate the cloud into their digital transformation initiatives, they’re finding that the on-premises infrastructure isn’t going away,” he said. “The performance and manageability trade-offs that have hindered or stalled ongoing cloud adoption can be resolved through a far more intelligent means of analyzing, optimizing and scaling hybrid cloud storage.”

As head of marketing, Nguyen has 20 years of marketing experience at the corporate and agency level in cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and software industries, including leadership roles at Forcepoint, Commvault, Dell and Compellent.

“InfiniteIO is changing how customers and partners across industries from finance to media and bioinformatics are managing data and its relationship with applications and cloud-based storage,” he said. “By applying networking innovations to storage management in the data center and the cloud simultaneously, we can ensure data flows to wherever the business requires it, without adding complexity, cost or stress to overburdened staff and budgets.”
