DDN, the world’s leading platform for AI data intelligence, appointed Kevin Delane as the President and Chief Revenue Officer. All global revenue strategies, go-to-market strategies, marketing, and customer success activities will be managed by Delane during its hypergrowth stage. This is an opportune moment for DDN, as it has just hired new leadership and is gaining momentum in the market, with speculation mounting about an upcoming IPO.
Many enterprises and countries are adopting AI solutions, leading to an immense need for data architecture that can support large amounts of data training and inference. DDN stands at the forefront of this movement, offering top-of-the-line AI environments, courtesy of companies like NVIDIA and many others in the industry. The company’s growth reflects a transition from experimental AI to mission-critical, data-intensive production systems impacting real business outcomes.
“DDN is entering a defining chapter,” said Alex Bouzari, CEO and Co-founder of DDN. “As AI moves into full-scale production globally, the companies that win will be those that can translate technical leadership into repeatable customer success at scale. Kevin brings the operational discipline and go-to-market expertise to help us do exactly that-accelerating our global expansion while deepening our leadership in AI infrastructure.”
Experience, Leadership Expansion and Market Vision
Delane brings over three decades of experience building and scaling enterprise technology companies across storage, data infrastructure, and cloud markets. He previously held senior leadership roles at EverPure, where he helped scale revenue beyond $2 billion. He also worked at Cohesity and OwnBackup, leading global go-to-market strategies across sales, marketing, partnerships, and customer success. His strategies helped accelerate revenue growth, expand enterprise accounts, and maximize long-term customer value across global markets. His appointment follows the addition of Guido Torrini as Chief Financial and Operating Officer, strengthening DDN’s executive leadership team. This move enhances DDN’s operational scale, financial discipline, and global reach as the company continues expanding worldwide.
“DDN has established itself as the data backbone for the AI era,” said Delane. “What’s happening in the market right now is a once-in-a-generation platform shift, from compute-led innovation to data-centric AI infrastructure. My focus is to scale DDN’s go-to-market engine globally and ensure more organizations can leverage its unmatched performance to move AI into production faster and more efficiently.”
Delane has a strong record of building high-performance revenue organizations and implementing repeatable go-to-market models for sustained growth. At DDN, he will focus on expanding enterprise adoption, strengthening partnerships, and accelerating customer success across key global markets.
