About

Technology leaders have an incredible opportunity to help customers transform the way they do business, and I am grateful to work among the best. As the President of NetApp, THE intelligent data infrastructure company, I am privileged to lead our global go-to-market operations, including our talented sales, marketing, customer success, services, and support teams. We are transforming our business and accelerating our growth with a unique go-to-market strategy that supports our customers along their entire journey. This transformation will continue as we keep an eye on the future, knowing that the next opportunity to innovate is never far from reach. I am a passionate person and love my work, so I always seek to work with people who are committed to making a difference. I admire those who stand up for their beliefs and have a strong desire to make the world a better place. I am also inspired by the new generation of leaders who are ready to tackle these issues with empathy and urgency. One example is the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria that socially conscious investors are now using to screen their potential investments. I am proud to be an advocate of these forward-thinking investment standards. Above everything, I enjoy learning. My greatest teachers are our customers, from consumer companies to financial services, all around the world. By listening to them—especially those driven by customer excellence—I learn what they need to be successful on their transformation journeys. As an executive of a Fortune 500 company, I am energized by opportunities to build on our strengths and our diversity to create a future we can all be proud of.
