Both leaders have proven track records building world-class field teams for leading technology companies and bring proven methods for delivering customer value.”

He has held similar positions for innovative startups such as Riverbed Technology and Pure Storage, where he served as a member of their respective leadership teams from startup through IPO and growth to over $1Billion in annual revenues. Prior to those companies, he worked in customer success and services roles at Symantec and Veritas during their years of hyper-growth and, most recently, at Turbonomic as Chief Customer Officer helping some of the largest companies in the world implement hybrid-cloud and open source strategies.

“Delphix uniquely addresses the priorities that are top of mind for business leaders today: accelerating innovation and resiliency; modernizing monolithic applications on-prem and maximizing the elasticity of the public cloud; and embracing disruptive technologies like machine learning and AI,” Hesterberg added. “By addressing the biggest bottleneck in enterprise technology — data — Delphix enables customers to have the best of both worlds: unlocking innovation while achieving operational efficiency and compliance. The data constraint exists across thousands of enterprises, and I am amazed at how elegantly Delphix has solved for it! I’m thrilled to be joining this team to serve our customers and partners as Delphix enters its next phase of growth.”

Deron Miller has joined Delphix as its Senior Vice President, Americas Field Operations, and will be responsible for revenue growth across the US, Canada, and Latin America. Over his career, Miller has led sales teams at multiple companies across different geographies and verticals, including Nuance Communications where he led the growth of the Americas sales team from $100M to $400M in two years, and most recently at GE where he was the Chief Revenue Officer for GE Current, a billion-dollar business unit. At Delphix, he has recruited new sales leadership with experience from Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce.com, and MicroStrategy to support the rapid growth of our largest market.

“With an enviable roster of some of the most dynamic brands in the world, Delphix delivers transformative value for our enterprise customers across multiple verticals,” said Miller. “As companies look to overcome data challenges made worse in today’s remote, digital landscape, the demand for Delphix will continue to rise. We have assembled a world-class sales organization focused on building strategic relationships with our customers, as they adapt their businesses for the future while implementing efficient, compliant operations today.”
