I’m excited to share that I have joined Silk’s Board of Directors, a company that I believe is redefining the possibilities for businesses in the cloud. After years of watching Silk’s impressive growth and innovation, it’s an honor to be a part of Silk’s next chapter.  I wanted to be part of a company that has a forward-thinking vision and a leadership team that has the fortitude to accomplish it.

My Journey to Silk

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside some of the most innovative teams in the industry. My experiences at companies like K2view, NetApp, and Informatica have centered on helping businesses unlock the full potential of their data. I’ve helped create new markets, including Cloud Storage and Cloud Data Services. And, I have navigated the challenges of exponential growth while delivering a compelling portfolio of solutions.

When I first learned about Silk, I knew the company had a clear opportunity to address a highly relevant and complex challenge for IT teams. The mission to deliver unparalleled performance and scalability while minimizing cost and data management complexity is one I have pursued for most of my career.

About Silk

Silk is at the forefront of cloud innovation, with a mission to empower high-performance applications with software-defined cloud storage. As cloud adoption continues to rise, businesses are realizing that it’s not just a matter of moving your applications to the cloud; you also need to ensure you’re getting maximum performance while minimizing costs.

Silk’s unique platform helps businesses do just that, by enabling cloud environments to perform up to 10x faster than they would on native cloud alone — whether they’re running mission-critical applications or massive databases.

Silk enables organizations to extract more value from their data, creating a distinct competitive advantage for Artificial Intelligence (AI). From simplifying cloud migration to streamlining operations in the cloud, Silk is changing the game for enterprises that are serious about modernization and digital transformation.

Looking Forward

I joined Silk’s Board because of its clear mission, growth, and people.  I’m thrilled about Silk’s future and the opportunity to shape it. I’ve seen Silk growing exponentially in the last two years and the future is bright. With more organizations moving their most demanding applications to the cloud compounded with the exponential adoption of AI, Silk is poised to be at the center of this transformation. My goal is to help Silk fulfill its vision and ensure businesses unlock the true potential of their data.

I look forward to collaborating with Silk’s leadership team and board members to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the cloud. Together, we’ll work to empower businesses to leverage their data to innovate, grow, and achieve their goals faster than ever before.
