October 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Nutanix bolstered its EMEA team with three major appointments. Chris Kaddaras joins as Vice President and Head of EMEA, Patrick Cowden takes up the role of Vice President for Central Europe/DACH region and Emerging Markets, while Mark Lewis has been appointed Senior Director of EMEA Marketing. Their roles are effective immediately.
The new arrivals will sharpen Nutanix’s focus on EMEA growth as the business looks to capitalise on the soaring opportunity of cloud with its Enterprise Cloud Platform.
Chris was with EMC for 15 years, where he held positions including Vice President of Sales and Presales across EMEA. With a 24-year track record in IT and a passion for developing strategies to help business successfully articulate its proposition to customers and partners, his insight on leadership, operational efficiency, performance and communications is regularly shared with peers and customers through industry events.
Reporting to Chris, Patrick will draw upon his extensive experience from senior management responsibilities at Hitachi, Dell and EMC. A German-American, Patrick is a known author and presenter in both English and German languages.
With a target-driven approach across a number of verticals including telco, finance and government, Mark has successfully delivered messaging and communication strategies for a number of blue chip companies including Cloudera, EMC and Riverbed.
