About Bruce Clarke

Over 40 years in high tech with positions in many significant Silicon Valley startups including Sun, Mips, HaL, Network Appliance and Data Domain. Balanced experience with other companies including Amdahl, ROLM, Rational, and First Floor. I know what is involved in making a startup successful and can generally recognize significant ideas and opportunities.Specialties: True expertise is helping solve problems in the least expensive way possible (where "expense" encompasses acquisition cost, ongoing management, migration, DR, etc).Now happily retired to the San Juan Islands in the state of Washington. Enoying the rain, clouds, and dinginess after all those decades in the California sunshine.

    Retired - More Tractor Driver And Forester These Days
    San Juan Smarthomes Jan 2020 - Present
    Friday Harbor, Washington, United States
    Low tech nowadays. Still fixing people's computers; probably will never stop doing that. But more focused on creating dimensional lumber out of felled Douglas Fir and splitting / chipping the leftovers. Crappy websites with poor database support are still a major pet peeve!!!!Glad I helped sell some of the original IT equipment to LinkedIn a thousand years ago; seems to have worked out for a lot of folks!

    Originally hired in as Sr. Director of Product Marketing and was responsible for Product and Technical Marketing of Panzura's Cloud Storage Controller products. A greater need arose in overall Product Management for a Program Manager to aid in providing guidance and discipline to the overall Development organization and I have been filling that role for the last 18 months. My industry, customer, and product experience have given me insight and credibility in aiding the prioritization and customization in various aspects of Panzura product deliveries.

  • Emc
    Director - Technical Marketing, Brs Division / Emc
    Emc Jul 2009 - Sep 2010
    I guess I finally have to fess up that I now work for EMC. Not a bad place to be after all; just never thought I would be here. But I have to admit that they have lots of good folks and lots of good products to provide customers with some pretty cool solutions to their storage problems. Still holding all my old roles (including being the SME for Oracle protection for Data Domain) but also spending time learning about all these new technologies with potential for solving customer issues. Fun!
