Marco Sanvido VP of Engineering, MemVerge

MemVerge, Inc. announced that Dr. Marco Sanvido has joined the company as VP of engineering.

He leads the engineering team developing Memory Machine, a big memory software. 

“The transition to persistent memory is going to have a fundamental impact on the industry, and I am excited to join the team bringing the world’s first big Mmemory software to the market. I have seen and worked on other transitions (virtualization and flash storage) in the past, and the opportunity MemVerge has ahead is evident,” he said. “When I first met the co-founders, I was not only impressed by the company vision and their insight but also their passion and corporate culture. A start-up is made of motivated people with a common goal and I am honored to help MemVerge in this journey.”

He brings 2 decades of development and management experience to MemVerge’s engineering team. Most recently, as VP of engineering at Styra, he helped bring their first product to GA and worked on multiple core product initiatives as director of engineering at Pure Storage. He served as a researcher at Hitachi Global Storage Research (now Western Digital) and at VMware, where he worked on core hypervisor technology.

He was a post-doctoral researcher at UC Berkeley and completed his PhD and M.S. degrees in computer science at ETH Zurich.

“Marco’s deep knowledge of software-defined infrastructure and proven engineering leadership make him the perfect candidate for this role,” said Charles Fan, CEO. “He will guide the development of our industry-defining product and participate in creating our strategies to bring big memory to customers and partners alike. Together, Marco and his team will create technology to make the impossible possible.”
