Dave Gwyn WW Sales COO, Nutanix

Nutanix, Inc. promoted Keith Moran to SVP sales for the Americas and Dave Gwyn to WW sales COO, both effective May 1, 2020.

The role of SVP sales for the Americas was previously held by Chris Kaddaras, who was promoted to EVP of WW sales in February of this year. The role of WW sales COO is a new position.

“Keith embodies the Nutanix culture principle of ‘obsess over the customer and frontline,’ and is always focused on the long-term success of our customers. He’s built a highly collaborative team while creating an environment of candor and will be an extremely effective leader for the entire region,” he said. “Dave’s deep technical expertise, unmatched operations focus and superb sales leadership will play a critical role in the evolution of our global sales organization. I’m delighted to have both join my leadership team.”

Keith Moran joined Nutanix almost 6 years ago as a regional sales director, most recently serving as the VP sales for the Central Region. He has more than 20 years of technology sales experience including positions at NetApp and SimpliVity. He holds a B.A. from College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts.

Dave Gwyn began his career at Nutanix more than 8 years ago as director of federal sales and was most recently SVP sales for the US West, East, Public Sector and Latin America. He began his career in software development, then moved into sales, holding positions at companies including Sybase, BEA and VMware before joining Nutanix. He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Both of them will respectively be responsible for helping to drive the company’s go-to-market sales and operations, while simultaneously transitioning to a subscription business model.

“The sheer force of digital transformation has created a market opportunity in front of us that is absolutely massive. The continuous innovation across our product portfolio is driving unprecedented loyalty from our outstanding customers,” said Moran.

Gwyn adds: “This is a truly unique moment to be in a global sales leadership role. I’m honored and excited to work with this amazing worldwide sales team, and we intend to double-down on our longstanding focus on customer success.”

Moran and Gwyn will continue to act in their previous positions until replacements are appointed.
