His depth of experience in the UK/EMEA region and proven leadership ability will allow him to evangelize our Real-time Data Platform to businesses ready to modernize their data architectures. Now is an exciting time to lead the EMEA region as we extend our footprint across the UK and Europe.”
Recently, Aerospike announced a record first half of 2022. This follows the announcement of record sales of its Aerospike Real-time Data Platform in 2021. The company doubled its 2020 growth, tripled sales outside North America, and grew Aerospike Cloud Managed Service by 450 per cent.
