Nutanix
has appointed Daryush Ashjari to the role of chief technology officer of the
Asia-Pacific Japan region. This is an expansion of Ashjari’s current role as
vice president of Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) Solution Engineering.
In the new role, Daryush will be responsible for engineering,
technical operations, and developing innovative solutions for today’s hybrid
multicloud requirements. Additionally, he will lead C-level engagements across
the region. He is based in Sydney and leads a team of engineers across the APJ
region. He also directs the company’s technical and solution development
engagements with corporations and governments in the region.
An IT industry veteran, Daryush has close to four decades of IT
experience. Before joining his current role at Nutanix, he worked with leading
firms such as IBM, Novell, Cisco, Citrix, EMC, and McAfee. He is an
accomplished electrical, electronic, and computer science engineer, along with
being a certified Prosci Change Management Practitioner.
Daryush’s appointment comes after a few shakeups in the
executive line at Nutanix. In August, Nutanix appointed Faiz Shakir as managing
director of its India division. Shakir has been with Nutanix for over eight
years, most recently serving as the VP and managing director-sales for the
India division.
In the same month, the company appointed Prasanna Ranade as the
Senior Director of Enterprise and Govt Sales. Ranade will oversee Nutanix’s
enterprise and government sales strategies in this role and drive growth across
these sectors.
