SEPATON appoints new sales & marketing chief

SEPATON, specialist in disk-based data protection, has announced the appointment of Mike Thompson to the company’s executive management team as executive vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. Thompson will oversee all aspects of SEPATON’s sales and marketing efforts as well as professional services. He will report directly to SEPATON president and CEO, Mike Worhach.

“This is an exciting time to be joining the company,” said Thoaysmpson. “SEPATON recognised early on that enterprise customers need more than just disk-based backup. The company has invested significant engineering resources to create a ‘category killing’ solution that provides the high performance, grid scalability, and content aware deduplication that are essential in an enterprise backup environment. I look forward to helping SEPATON reach its full potential as we continue to bring this powerful technology to market.”

Thompson comes to SEPATON after serving as president, chief executive officer and chairman at Egenera Corporation. Before joining Egenera, Thompson was senior VP of worldwide sales and marketing and a member of the board of directors at Stratus Technologies.
