"2014 and beyond promises to be key growth years for the company. Object storage technology has reached a maturity point where it makes sense to invest heavily in sales and marketing to reach the “early majority”. That’s exactly what we are doing, and Antoine brings a wealth of industry experience to grow the team in Europe and reach a new level in sales activity.”
