He is a dynamic technology leader with experience driving 1000-member global engineering and product teams to deliver innovative on-premises and cloud-based solutions.

“Philippe’s deep and varied engineering and technical expertise will greatly complement and expand the product strategy and execution for our innovative composable data infrastructure services in all the major clouds for our Data Infrastructure solutions focusing on AI/ML workloads,” said Amir Faintuch, CEO. “We are excited to welcome Philippe to our growing executive team of cloud industry leaders who will focus on connecting the dots between customer, product, and execution.”

“Many companies in the data infrastructure space claim to be different, but often are just a variation of existing concepts. Sometimes, however, you stumble on something differentiated where you can see the potential of everything unique that can be developed from it,” said Ciampossin. “Volumez is, to me, the kind of company combining great technology, a world-class team, and energy rare in more mature companies. I am looking forward to collaborating with the team to be part of the adventure of enhancing the technology and product and taking it to new heights.”
