PivotStor Names Michelle Vilchuck, Tony Clay to Key Executive Positions
Monday, May 05, 2008

SAN DIEGO, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- PivotStor(TM) (www.pivotstor.com), dedicated to delivering best-of-breed data protection, coupled with proven reliability and cost-effective performance, today announced the appointment of two industry veterans to senior positions within the firm.

Michelle Vilchuck has been named Vice President, Operations and Support. She joins PivotStor from Quantum Corporation, bringing more than 20 years of experience in the data protection industry, where she has held various executive-level positions in Operations, Quality, Sales, Marketing and Field Support. Before joining PivotStor, Michelle was the Vice President, Sales Operations and Customer Support for Quantum, responsible for sales and marketing operations, which included OEM, Branded Account Management and Business Systems. Prior to Quantum, Michelle was Vice President, Worldwide Sales Operations for Certance. She has held similar executive positions at Seagate, Conner, Archive, Olivetti and Data Products.

"Michelle knows this industry from every angle, and her experience will help us continue our growth," said Jack Corrao, PivotStor's President and Chief Operating Officer. "Beyond her knowledge of the technology, she also understands the channel; what resellers need to be successful in today's market, and what we as a vendor can do to support them at every phase. I'm pleased to have her as part of our team."

Tony Clay joins PivotStor as Director of EMEA Sales. He was previously at Overland Storage, where he built a multi-million dollar sales organization as a regional sales director, including the establishment of reseller and distribution channels. He has had similar success over more than a quarter of a century at other data protection firms, such as BakBone, Datacore, Quantum and Conner Peripherals, where he has been repeatedly responsible for introducing and selling new technologies into the channel.

"Tony has a proven track record of success at establishing presence and growing sales for data protection companies throughout Europe, Middle-East and Africa," said John Boyken, PivotStor's vice president of worldwide sales. "His addition to our sales team will accelerate our plan to market and sell our AP-Series tape libraries and EP-Series email management appliances throughout the region. His ability to identify the right Distribution and VAR partners in each country will bring significant incremental growth to PivotStor."

Both Vilchuck and Clay are seen as important additions to PivotStor's management team as the company continues its global expansion. Since its formal introduction last year, PivotStor has already rolled out its EP-Series of innovative email management appliances, combining multiple functions such as archiving, encryption, anti-spam and anti-virus protection into one easily-installed and administered device. The company has also introduced significant product improvements to its AP-Series of tape automation libraries, delivering more reliable handling of tapes containing corporate-critical information.
