Both positions report to Steven Chung, president of WW field operations.

“Digital innovation has transformed every industry, and there’s no turning back. Enterprises need to adapt quickly to changing market conditions or risk being disrupted by more agile competitors,” said Chung. “Hesterberg and Miller have joined Delphix to scale our customer-facing and sales organizations, as we help our customers implement digital strategies that accelerate innovation and growth, while minimizing costs and risks. Both leaders have proven track records building world-class field teams for leading technology companies and bring proven methods for delivering customer value.“

He has held similar positions for start-ups such as Riverbed Technology and Pure Storage, where he served as a member of their respective leadership teams from start-up through IPO and growth to over $1 billion in annual revenues. Prior to those companies, he worked in customer success and services roles at Symantec and Veritas during their years of growth and, most recently, at Turbonomic as chief customer officer, helping some large companies implement hybrid-cloud and open source strategies.  

“Delphix uniquely addresses the priorities that are top of mind for business leaders today: accelerating innovation and resiliency; modernizing monolithic applications on-prem and maximizing the elasticity of the public cloud; and embracing disruptive technologies like ML and AI,” Hesterberg added. “By addressing the biggest bottleneck in enterprise technology-data-Delphix enables customers to have the best of both worlds: unlocking innovation while achieving operational efficiency and compliance. The data constraint exists across thousands of enterprises, and I am amazed at how elegantly Delphix has solved for it. I’m thrilled to be joining this team to serve our customers and partners as Delphix enters its next phase of growth.” 

Deron Miller will be responsible for revenue growth across the US, Canada, and Latin America. Over his career, he has led sales teams at multiple companies across different geographies and verticals, including Nuance Communications where he led the growth of the Americas sales team from $100 million to $400 million in 2 years, and most recently at GE, where he was the chief revenue officer for GE Current, a $billion business unit. At Delphix, he has recruited new sales leadership with experience from Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce.com, and MicroStrategy to support the growth of the company’s largest market.
