Nasuni Appoints New CTO and CFO to Accelerate Innovation, Operational Scale, and Global Expansion

Nasuni, an unstructured data management company, announced the appointments of Jerry Carter as CTO and Ross Grainger as CFO.

These additions to the executive team reinforce Nasuni’s commitment to overall customer success, operational excellence, product innovation, and sustainable global growth.

“As the data landscape rapidly evolves with new opportunities, especially in helping enterprises unlock the value of their unstructured data for AI, we’re expanding our leadership team to better support our customers’ evolving data needs through bold innovation and unwavering excellence,” said Sam King, CEO, Nasuni. “Both Jerry and Ross bring exceptional leadership experience and deep industry expertise that will help our customers achieve their data and AI goals with greater confidence and speed. As we continue to scale and innovate, these new perspectives will be instrumental in advancing our technology strategy and delivering even greater value to the customers we serve.”

Ross and Jerry will join Nasuni with the following experience to draw from:

Jerry Carter, Chief Technology Officer: Carter is an accomplished engineering leader with a strong track record of driving enterprise software transformation. His early career in open-source development and systems architecture – most notably through engineering roles at VA Linux and Hewlett-Packard – built a foundation of technical rigor and community-driven innovation. At Likewise Software, he rose from engineer to CTO, guiding multiple product pivots and helping position the company for its successful acquisition by EMC. During his 13 years at Dell Technologies, Carter led engineering for major product lines, implemented large-scale Agile transformation, and oversaw global teams while accelerating release cycles and improving product quality. Carter also has deep experience building powerful scalable data management systems, as well as applying AI to enhance product intelligence and engineering efficiency. At Nasuni, he will bring a people-first, innovation-driven leadership approach focused on building high-performing teams, advancing the company’s technology vision, and scaling the platform to meet the AI and data challenges of today.

Ross Grainger, Chief Financial Officer: Grainger is an experienced financial executive with a strong track record for scaling B2B SaaS companies globally. His early career in public accounting at RSM built a strong foundation of financial success. At WebPT, Grainger built the FP&A team from scratch, reduced controllable churn through better leading analytics, and led the company through multiple acquisitions. Most recently, as CFO at Paradox, he helped scale the company’s revenue dramatically over six years, alongside global team expansion, five acquisitions, and the company’s eventual sale to Workday. At Nasuni, Grainger will serve as a strategic partner to the leadership team, ensuring capital is invested in the right growth opportunities to scale the platform and support customers’ AI and data intelligence strategies.

As enterprises recognize the immense value that unstructured data brings to their AI initiatives, Nasuni and its expanded leadership team are uniquely positioned to help them achieve higher cost savings, protect their data, enhance performance, and prepare for AI readiness at scale.
