Scality Appoints New CRO

Scality has appointed Emilio Roman as its new global Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).

Emilio brings a wealth of experience in global sales leadership, with a proven track record in the cybersecurity and data storage industries. He joins Scality from Bitdefender and Fortinet, where he held the position of Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Channels. Emilio is no stranger to Scality, having previously served as the company's top sales leader for the EMEA and APAC regions from 2014 to 2020. His return marks an exciting new chapter for Scality as he leverages his deep expertise to accelerate revenue growth and scale operations globally.

Building on a remarkable 2024, which saw five consecutive record quarters and major successes in Enterprise AI data lakes, cloud infrastructure, and storage dedicated to cyber resiliency, Emilio assumes leadership to accelerate Scality's growth trajectory. His appointment follows the highly impactful tenure of Peter Brennan, who built the company’s sales and channel organisation to achieve consecutive years of record growth. Peter has taken a senior sales leadership role with a leading network technology company, and will remain a member of Scality's Advisory Board.

"We are thrilled to welcome Emilio back to the Scality family," said Jerome Lecat, CEO of Scality. "Emilio's extensive cyber security experience and outstanding leadership skills make him the ideal choice to lead our global sales efforts as we continue to innovate and solve the world’s largest data challenges."

Scality's growth trajectory remains strong following a banner year in 2024, with the company achieving record-breaking success across all regions, including completing its most successful quarter ever in Q4 2024 and the second year in a row achieving a cash flow positive position. With hundreds of ARTESCA deployments, including the largest at 6 PB, this success highlights the team's focus on delivering value to customers and driving cyber resilient innovation. Designed for mid-market organisations, ARTESCA offers enterprise -grade cyber resilient object storage capabilities at a cost friendly entry point with the power to scale to support future business needs. Under Emilio's leadership, Scality’s regional sales and channel teams are well-positioned to sustain and build upon this momentum.
