Joe Febel joins Scality as Sr. Vice President, Americas Sales

SAN FRANCISCO – March 14, 2024 – Scality, a global leader in cyber-resilient storage software for the AI era, today announced the appointment of Joe Febel as sr. vice president of Americas sales. With a strategic emphasis on accelerating channel growth, Joe is swiftly scaling up channel managers in key geographies across the United States. The newly expanded, 100% channel-focused team is poised to strengthen distributor and VAR relationships to expedite the adoption of Scality ARTESCA for channel-friendly data protection solutions with leading backup providers like Veeam Software.

“I’m thrilled to join Scality at this pivotal moment. Object storage has firmly entered the mainstream, presenting an opportunity for significant growth, especially with our valued channel partners,” said Joe Febel. “It’s a rare opportunity to drive market share for a rapidly growing product line like ARTESCA, which has achieved an outstanding 5x growth rate in the last year. The expansion potential is immense, and with the support of our channel partners we are prepared to seize the opportunity.”

Joe has over 34 years of experience leading large-scale infrastructure and cloud deployments within Fortune 500 accounts for Hewlett Packard Enterprise, 3PAR and Dell/EMC. His strong customer relationships will help drive increased adoption of Scality RING and ARTESCA within long-standing Scality enterprise and government accounts.

Joe’s sales focus will serve both Scality product lines: firstly, driving rapid adoption of ARTESCA for cyber-resilient backups with Veeam through channel partners; secondly, expanding petabyte-scale hybrid-cloud deployments for Scality RING in target accounts. While the channel strategy remains intact for both products, Joe has strategically placed experienced account executives and sales engineers within key accounts that deploy Scality RING for some of the largest and most sensitive data stores in the U.S. and the world.

“Joe’s appointment as sr. vice president of Americas sales marks an exciting new chapter for Scality as we prioritize rapid channel adoption and expansion into key target accounts. His focus on channel expansion and extensive experience in leading large-scale infrastructure and cloud deployments within Fortune 500 accounts makes him an invaluable addition to our team. With Joe's leadership, we are confident in our ability to strengthen our channel relationships and accelerate the adoption of Scality ARTESCA and RING solutions. His dual sales strategy will not only drive growth in the SMB market but also expand our footprint in large enterprise and government accounts."
