As VP worldwide field operations at Atlantis, David oversaw sales, technical, marketing, professional services and support teams, setting the strategy for developing and building the field business, including OEM and alliances.  When he first joined as VP EMEA at the software-defined storage company, David notably grew sales revenues from the ground up to $20 million within three years.

 

At Virtual Instruments, David is focused on EMEA business growth, building on the company’s success and managing executive customer, strategic alliance and partner relationships. Virtual Instruments’ customers include some of the world’s largest banking, finance, telecommunications, and retail organisations. David will also be leading Virtual Instruments expansion into the Nordic and Benelux markets later in the year together with building the value added channel across EMEA.

 

David reports to Sheen Khoury, EVP, Global Field Ops & Sales, who said, “David holds an exemplary track record of team leadership and achievement in enterprise sales and we are delighted to welcome him to Virtual Instruments. He brings a wealth of experience and passion that will serve him well in leading our field sales and services teams to achieve further growth of Virtual Instruments’ business in EMEA.”

Its vendor-independent solutions deliver a unified real-time view of infrastructure performance in service of enterprise applications, whether they are deployed on-premises, or in the cloud. 

 

“I am delighted to be joining the Virtual Instruments team to help drive the continued growth of our EMEA business, said David. “We are seeing a growing recognition in the industry of the need for an AIOps platform focused on mission critical services. By providing real-time end-to-end infrastructure monitoring and performance validation, Virtual Instruments has the unique ability to deliver performance assurance for mission critical applications, powerfully enabling organisations to eradicate outages and deliver real value to the business. With strong OEM relationships across the region, and with the opening of our new EMEA HQ, we are well positioned to meet the needs of the most demanding enterprise organisations.”
