The bloke behind HPE Greenlake as-a-service, Keith White, is stepping aside at the end of April to pursue other opportunities.
HPE CEO Antonio Neri told employees of White’s imminent departure in an email describing White as “an exceptional colleague, friend, customer advocate, and team champion.”
“Through the last several years, Keith was instrumental in accelerating the development of HPE GreenLake,” said Neri.
“Under his leadership, the HPE GreenLake Cloud Services Commercial Business team transformed our go-to-market approach to address customer priorities across edge, hybrid cloud, and AI. Guided by Keith’s vision and practical approach, HPE GreenLake has experienced strong momentum, reaching a market-leading position.”
White worked for Microsoft for 20 years and joined HPE in 2019 to deliver a public cloud-like experience for GreenLake partners and customers and to build out the partner ecosystem.
“Guided by Keith’s vision and practical approach, HPE GreenLake has experienced strong momentum, reaching a market-leading position,” said Neri.
“This success enabled us to integrate the HPE GreenLake Cloud Services Commercial business group into the fabric of our company in October 2022. During this transition, he has continued in his role as executive sponsor for key customers and partners.”
Under White’s leadership, HPE GreenLake has become an on-premise cloud computing powerhouse with an annualized revenue run rate that exceeded $1bn in the most recent quarter and total contract value of nearly $10bn.
