Dalton Menhall VP of WW Sales, Trilio

Trilio Data, Inc. announced that Dalton Menhall has joined the company as VP of WW sales.

He will be responsible for accelerating revenue gen while building the global sales strategy and organization.

“Customers are in the early phases of their Kubernetes journey and are looking for purpose-built, application-centric platforms to help manage and protect their environments across clouds,” said David Safaii, CEO. “Dalton brings a strong track record of building global sales teams that are focused on delivering customer value and maximizing revenue opportunities. His most recent experience, selling to DevOps and working with strategic ecosystem partners like Red Hat, will prove invaluable. We’re delighted to welcome him to Trilio.”

“Trilio checked all the boxes in what I was looking for in my next role,” said Menhall. “We have a phenomenal team, enterprise-grade technology and a strong set of customers and partners. All that said: the opportunity in this cloud-native era is immense. Cloud architects and DevOps engineers are struggling with how to build resilient infrastructure, manage complex application migration projects and meet compliance requirements. Trilio was born for this challenge and we look forward to helping more customers deliver value to their business.”

Menhall brings over 25 years of enterprise technology sales experience and a record of building sales teams focused on revenue growth, value-based selling and customer success.

He joins Trilio from Sonatype, where he served as VP of Americas sales, taking the company from $5 million to $75 million and positioning the company for an acquisition by Vista Equity Partners. Prior to Sonatype, he was with IBM for a decade, most recently serving as VP of analytics sales. He joined IBM through the acquisition of Ascential Software, where he served as executive director of WW sales operations, helping the company scale from $100 million to $500 million. Earlier in his career, he worked for Mirror Image Internet, PTC, PDG and Coopers & Lybrand.

Earlier this month, Trilio announced a $15 million Series B round of funding. The company recently announced TrilioVault for Kubernetes v2.0, including a management console for multi-cloud data protection and was named a Leader and Outperformer by a GigaOm report on Kubernetes Data Protection.
