The company was sold in December 2018 and I continued in CMO and CPO products role. The company introduced the first advanced virtualized system that allows hosted 3rd party applications in a media workflow environment. This brought the benefits of enterprise-class Software Defined Storage and a virtualized facility to cloud collaboration environment to mid-sized media facilities moving to digital content of 4K and higher resolutions for use on the Internet and broadcasting.

We leveraged modern technology and targeted communication to deliver complete solutions for evolving production workflows and storage and delivery of "forever" content archives introducing StorNext in the Cloud. I effectively transformed the company to a benefit/solution approach and a new go-to-market strategy by replacing confusing and difficult products with a more user-facing solution portfolio to drive customer adoption. Successfully redefined and repositioned the company’s Big Data product line. Coined the term "extended online" to simplify and broaden Object storage/cloud adoption at media companies. In conjunction with this, I analyzed the market potential for an expansion and reorientation of solutions to support the requirements of the Media and Entertainment (M&E) market and developed go-to-market programs for products and solutions in those market segments. This refined our target customer profile while gaining renewed interest by the existing user base. We extended our reach to smaller independent broadcasters, creative facilities, prosumers, and tape-centric studios. It also enhanced the company’s appeal to corporate, educational, and institutional owners of digital content by offering high-performance storage and streaming of multi-media files.
