Nvidia GTC 2026: Quobyte Appoints Storage Industry Veteran Andrew Perry as Vice President of Sales to Drive Global Expansion

Quobyte, a provider of high-performance storage, architected for AI, announced the appointment of Andrew Perry as vice president of Sales. Perry, a seasoned sales executive with over two decades of experience in the enterprise storage and data management sectors, will lead Quobyte’s global sales strategy as the company enters its next phase of hyper-growth.

Perry joins Quobyte from ScienceLogic, where he served as Vice president of Sales for the Americas, consistently driving record-breaking revenue and expanding the company’s footprint across the enterprise and public sectors. His career also includes senior leadership roles at Weka, SpringPath and Violin Memory, where he was instrumental in scaling high-performance sales teams and navigating the transition from legacy hardware approaches to modern, cloud-native software architectures.

“The storage market is at a massive inflection point. Organizations are moving away from the rigid, expensive hardware silos of the past toward the flexibility and performance of software-defined infrastructure architected for AI,” said Björn Kolbeck, CEO and co-founder, Quobyte. “Andrew’s track record of building world-class sales organizations and his deep understanding of the high-performance storage landscape make him the perfect leader to accelerate our momentum. His arrival marks a significant milestone as we challenge the incumbents and redefine what’s possible in the AI era.”

Perry’s appointment comes at a time of significant disruption in the storage industry. While competitors like Pure Storage, Weka, and Vast Data have highlighted the demand for flash and scale-out architectures, Quobyte’s unique software-only, ultra-resilient scale out approach provides a level of hardware independence and operational simplicity that legacy-bound vendors cannot match.

“Quobyte is the best-kept secret in the storage industry, and that is about to change,” said Andrew Perry, VP, sales, Quobyte. “Having spent my career at the forefront of innovation, I’ve seen how difficult it is for enterprises to manage massive growth in unstructured data without sacrificing performance or breaking the budget. Quobyte has solved the ‘impossible’ trade-off between extreme scale and ease of management. I am thrilled to join this world-class team and help our customers build the data foundations they need for the next gen of AI and high-performance computing.”

At Quobyte, Perry will oversee all aspects of the global sales organization, including direct sales, channel partnerships, and strategic alliances. His immediate focus will be on expanding Quobyte’s presence in key verticals such as Neoclouds, Financial Services, M&E, Life Sciences, and Research-sectors where Quobyte’s ability to deliver linear scalability and 100% uptime is a critical competitive advantage.
