Cloudera appoints Leo Brunnick as Chief Product Officer
Hybrid platform for data, analytics, and AI provider Australia and New
Zealand Cloudera has announced the appointment of Leo Brunnick as Chief Product
Officer.
Cloudera says that with more than 30 years of
experience leading technology teams, Brunnick will work closely with CEO
Charles Sansbury and the entire Cloudera leadership team
to oversee the company’s product and technology direction.
“Not many companies today understand that
enterprises require flexibility to successfully deploy new solutions, but
Cloudera clearly has that down,” said Brunnick.
“Cloudera is the only data platform provider
that offers both robust on-premises and cloud-native data and AI services to
enable a truly hybrid experience behind customer firewalls. These capabilities,
combined with the incredible AI talent and growing ecosystem of partners, are
what drew me to the company.”
Cloudera notes that Brunnick recently served as
the Chief Operating Officer of Naviga, a software provider for content
development in media - and during his six years there, Brunnick led a team of
more than 600 product, marketing, engineering, and customer support
professionals.
“Prior to his time at Naviga, he held several
leadership roles at Vignette, including EVP of Engineering, Chief Product
Officer, and Chief Marketing Officer, until the company’s sale to OpenText in
2008. Brunnick also served as an officer in the Marine Corps and earned his MBA
from Georgia State University after graduating from Harvard University with his
bachelor's degree in general engineering,” added Cloudera.
“Leo’s experience guiding high-performing teams
and translating customer needs into platform excellence will be invaluable to Cloudera
as we continue to lead the data, analytics, and AI markets,” said Sansbury.
“With Leo officially onboard, Cloudera is set to continue accelerating product
innovation to provide our customers with the most robust hybrid solution on the
market.”
