2009 Public Company CFO of the Year Joins Data as a Service Market Leader
Menlo Park, Calif. - May 5, 2015 - Delphix, the market leader in Data as a Service, today announced that Stewart Grierson has joined the company's executive team as Chief Financial Officer. Grierson, named by Silicon Valley Business Journal as Public Company CFO of the Year in 2009, held key roles in the IPOs of ArcSight and ONI Systems. Grierson is also a member of the board of directors for Ruckus Wireless.
Enterprise IT organizations struggle to manage growing applications and data as they migrate from legacy data centers to private, public and hybrid clouds. Data as a Service delivers the right data to the right team at the right time, dramatically accelerating a wide range of application projects, including ERP rollouts, custom development, and migrations to private and public clouds.
Delphix provides its DaaS Platform as on-premises or cloud software that enables self-service access to data, instead of relying on complex processes and multiple IT teams to manually move unsecured data across systems. Over 20 percent of the Fortune 100 use Delphix to deliver data 99 percent faster across development, testing and reporting environments, driving dramatic increases in productivity while improving data security.
"Enterprise IT organizations must continually reinvent themselves as they struggle with the shift to cloud architectures and explosive data growth. Delphix provides flexibility and agility at the data layer to yield significant advantages for its customers," said Grierson. "Delphix has all the ingredients it takes to be a large, successful public company: breakthrough technology validated by blue-chip customers, a multi-billion market opportunity, and a strong management team."
Grierson led ArcSight through a successful IPO in a challenging economic climate--the only venture-backed, Silicon Valley-based IPO in 2008. His strong background in security, software and storage makes him well suited for the DaaS market.
"We're focused on scaling operations across international theaters as we prepare for an IPO," said Jedidiah Yueh, founder and CEO of Delphix. "Stewart's leadership in both finance and operations will help us build a solid foundation as we grow into one of the biggest markets in IT."
