Andrew Degnan VP Sales, MemVerge

MemVerge, Inc., the inventor of Memory-Converged Infrastructure (MCI), announced that Andrew Degnan has joined the company as its first VP sales.

He brings more than 15 years of technology sales experience to MemVerge having held previous roles at Diamanti, Pure Storage, BMC Software, NetApp and Sun Microsystems.

At MemVerge, he will manage the sales team and lead customer expansion to accelerate the adoption of Storage Class Memory (SCM) and MCI in the enterprise data center.

He said: “I’m excited about MemVerge’s technology and what the company is accomplishing by bringing storage class memory and a breakthrough software architecture to the market. I’ve seen first hand the customer benefits and business value of transitioning off spinning media to solid state storage. The ground-breaking work that Charles Fan and the team have done for the transition to persistent memory with rich data services creates an opportunity for unprecedented customer business value and success.”

Degnan comes to MemVerge from Diamanti, a hybrid cloud platform for Kubernetes, where he served as VP sales. He joined Diamanti just before the company’s product was GA and built a $10 million+ customer install base in the first year. Prior to that, he was one of Pure Storage’s early sales hires. There, he helped convert more than 50 customers, $35 million+ in revenue and was instrumental in implementing and advancing go-to-market sales strategies.

“Andrew brings a strong track record of building successful and high growth enterprise sales programs from the ground up, and we’re excited to have him on board,” said Charles Fan, CEO and co-founder. “As we enter this next stage of growth, Andrew’s contributions will be critical to helping us reach new markets and expand our customer base while focusing on customer success.”
