Jeff Lebold Joins Hammerspace as Vice President of APAC Region

Hammerspace, Inc. announced the appointment of Jeff Lebold as vice president of the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

A veteran technology leader with nearly three decades of experience, Lebold will spearhead Hammerspace’s aggressive growth and customer momentum throughout one of the world’s fastest-growing markets for AI and data infrastructure.

Lebold brings deep expertise in sales, market development, systems engineering and marketing. He most recently served as VP of sales for Asia-Pacific Enterprise Customers at Impinj, where he consistently delivered strong revenue growth. Previously, during his 22-year tenure at Quantum Corporation, he drove strategic expansion across a complex seven-country APAC territory, building high-performing cross-cultural teams and driving transformative market success. Fluent in Mandarin, Lebold is known for forging strong partnerships and scaling global operations.

Hammerspace’s explosive momentum in the APAC region builds on a wave of recent milestones — including its entry into Japan and a major strategic partnership in China with Yition.ai, a pioneer in making hyperscale AI infrastructure accessible and efficient. With AI and GenAI spending across APAC expected to soar to $175 billion by 2028, according to IDC’s Worldwide AI and Generative AI Spending Guide, (IDC), the region is primed for massive growth — and Hammerspace is positioned to lead.

“AI infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex, often spanning geographies and clouds, while demand for GPU computing, storage and data center resources has exploded,” said Jeff Giannetti, CRO, Hammerspace. “Having Jeff on the ground in APAC is a game-changer as we support more customers and partners in accelerating their AI initiatives with greater efficiency and agility.”

“Hammerspace offers something truly unique in the market: a high-performance data platform that transforms how enterprises access and use data for AI at scale,” said Lebold. “I’m thrilled to join this exceptional team and grow our APAC presence while strengthening our partner ecosystem to deliver greater customer success.”

Today’s enterprises are challenged by the need to optimize high-performance data access for AI workloads, scale their infrastructure efficiently, and manage complex, distributed data environments. Hammerspace’s Data Platform delivers a competitive edge across every dimension of unstructured data: storage, access, movement and deployment. Whether training thousands of GPUs on-premises or in the cloud, deploying large-scale inference or maximizing NVMe performance in local GPU servers, Hammerspace is purpose-built to unleash data performance at scale.
