Qumulo

Qumulo has added two new board members: Kelly Battles, a seasoned technology CFO and board member; and Bob Gleichauf, a technology leader with deep experience in enterprise IT infrastructure and cybersecurity. Qumulo is adding these two experienced board members at a time when the company has seen record revenue and profits and a growing customer base. Battles has more than 30 years of experience helping scale technology companies from growth stage to a successful public offering. She previously served as CFO at Quora and Bracket Computing, VP of finance at Ironport (acquired by Cisco), and director of strategy and corporate M&A at HP. She currently serves on the boards of several public and private companies, including Genesys, Arista, and now Qumulo. Gleichauf has extensive experience in networking, security, and enterprise IT transformation. He has served in a variety of executive technology leadership roles the past 15 years at In-Q-Tel as well as 15 years before that at Cisco, seven of those as VP/CTO of the Security Business Group that expanded into the Wireless Networking group before joining In-Q-Tel. Prior to all that, Gleichauf led Engineering at Wheelgroup, one of the pioneers of Network Intrusion Detection that was acquired by Cisco in 1998. Seattle-based Qumulo provides enterprise-wide unstructured data management across a variety of industry verticals including media and entertainment, energy exploration and delivery, gaming and sports, automotive and autonomous driving, semiconductor development, healthcare and life sciences, and financial services.
