“Customers’ expectations for exceptional service and support are increasing exponentially, so it was crucial for us to add to the CloudLinux executive team a strong CXO who can provide a thoughtful and complete customer perspective that informs executive decisions,” said Igor Seletskiy. “Dave has an extensive and impressive track record in customer-facing roles for a variety of leading technology companies which – coupled with his passion for customer excellence – will be instrumental in leading us to achieve our vision of customer-centricity and success, helping our clients to optimize use of our products and services in order to extract the greatest possible value.”
“I’m excited to be a part of the CloudLinux executive team. It is a privilege to help set the strategy for this new role, especially given the remarkable recent success and growth of the company,” said Mello. “The dynamic nature of technology is driving much-needed improvements in customer experiences. Successful organizations will not simply react but will proactively seek to learn from their customers in order to shape a mutually-beneficial – and profitable – relationship, particularly with larger enterprise customers. The establishment of ‘a seat at the (executive) table’ advocating and speaking for customers demonstrates that the CloudLinux leadership team understands this paradigm, and highly values their customers.”
This appointment comes at a time of unprecedented growth for CloudLinux, much of it based on the increasing momentum of its TuxCare brand, which offers a family of enterprise support services including live patching, extended lifecycle support and Linux support.
