There were no flight cancelations this week on the tech career runway, but let’s not jinx ourselves before we take off for Mobile World Congress.
No need to turn phones on airplane mode — we hope this week’s airline pilot edition of "Cloud career" moves won’t fly over your head. Curious to see who’s making headlines in the cloud? Buckle up, grab the AIM manual (we’re all sort of new to this) and let’s head to the sky.
Dale Dawson, VP of product; Sergio Torres, director of managed services, LightEdge
LightEdge announced Dale Dawson as vice president of product following the company’s deepening investment in its cloud services. He belts 20 years of experience mapping solutions as a software engineer and entrepreneur.
Sergio Torres will join Dawson on the LightEdge ’craft as director of managed services. Torres has worked as an enterprise architect and software engineer for two decades. Rumor has it the pair enjoy pocketing the in-flight Biscoff cookies.
Julie Iskow, CEO, Workiva
Workiva, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, promoted Julie Iskow to CEO. Iskow previously held executive vice president and chief operating officer for the company. Having extensive experience scaling enterprise SaaS companies, we can guess Iskow knows the best travel hacks. Is a first-class upgrade in question?
Mike McQuaid, chief revenue officer, Acceldata
Acceldata, a data observability company, announced Mike McQuaid as chief revenue officer. McQuaid previously led revenue operations for CognitiveScale and has years of experience in enterprise software sales. McQuaid could be famous for his Yelp reviews of terminal eats when not in the cockpit.
Andrea Munoz, executive vice president and chief customer officer, CyrusOne
CyrusOne promoted Andrea Munoz to executive vice president and chief customer officer. She joined the global data center developer company in 2014 and has 17 years of expertise in the telecom industry. In her spare time, Munoz may prefer captaining flights that land strictly in tropical locations. What? Paradise isn’t a crime.
Simon Williams, CEO, Trustmarque
IT solutions and cloud services company Trustmarque named Simon Williams as CEO. Williams will steer the company’s strategic focus on optimization and cloud services starting March 1st. Until then, we suggest autopilot and taking time for some Zzzzzs.
