Williams will be an integral part of the Actifio leadership team that is committed to delivering superior technology, product and world-class customer service.

Actifio’s storage system optimizes the management of copies of production data, eliminating redundant silos of IT infrastructure and data management applications.

“Actifio has already built the most customer-centric organization that I’ve seen in my career and the company’s mission to change the way data is managed, through virtualization and consumerization, is precisely what users have been asking for during the last five years,” said Williams. “I am excited to be part of a world-class team that is committed to delivering world-class customer satisfaction and lead the customer service and support organization in delivering on this commitment.”
