Michael Spitz is a Flashblade Data Architect at Pure Storage. He possess expertise in enterprise storage, cloud computing, storage, virtualization, pre sales and 22 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I've worked with Mike as a customer both in his time at 3PAR and at Fusion-io. He's technically proficient, has a sense of humor, and doesn't take offense that I return his phone calls via email. Ask for him if you're enlisting his employer's services. You won't regret it." and "I was spoiled while paired up with Mike on sales opportunities. Mike joined the dark side (aka vendor sales) with years of street creditability as an Operations guy. He is knowledgable, candid, and creditable with prospects/customers. As he has been on the other side of the table, he knows how to listen and hone in on the customer's business objectives rather than be a mindless orator of vendor propaganda. Mike is a technical presales weapon for any technology provider. Hope I don't have to compete against him in the future."
