New team members who joined in August
BY Laura MidgleyA huge Assured welcome to our new folks: Brian, Martin, Hasani, Tiffany and Wyland who have joined us to work in our technical and sales teams. Here is an introduction to them all!
Brian Shillair, Head of Sales (Americas)
Brian is honored to lead the New Name sales team and Sales Engineers at Assured Data Protection. Brian’s 20 years of technology experience as a data storage architect, leading a regional sales team and leading a global channel team is a perfect fit to lead a sales team that’s 100% dedicated to the channel.
“At Nasuni, I witnessed firsthand the swift recovery of files from ransomware attacks using Nasuni’s file data services. However, the broader environment’s recovery often lagged, taking weeks or even months. This gap emerged from a lack of immutable data protection and a cyber response team.
Discovering Assured’s Data Protection’s Disaster Recovery and Cyber Response Service was a revelation. It’s a solution poised to augment any organisation’s data protection team, ensuring swift recovery during a cyber incident.”
Martin Shek, 2nd Line Service Desk Analyst
Martin joins us as a 2nd Line Service Desk Analyst.
“I am genuinely excited to join the Assured team, where I hope I can bring some of my 2nd line experience, combining my love for technology with the drive to make a difference to the desk.
Outside the tech sphere, my heart belongs to football, food, and travel. So, when I’m not immersed in the latest tech trends or cheering for Southampton, you can bet I’m cooking up a storm or plotting my next globetrotting escapade.”
Hasani Crider, DRaaS Engineer
Hasani is a 20 year IT professional, specialising in Infrastructure Engineering and Support, working in small to enterprise level infrastructures in both the public and private sectors.
“My diverse experience in different environments give me a unique perspective on how to provide customers with personalised services tailored to their specific needs.”
Hasani enjoys sports, technology, sci-fi and traveling.
Tiffany Wooten, Channel Development Manager – East
Tiffany is thrilled to join the Channel Development Team and support our US East Sellers. Her channel experience ranges from helping build partner programs from scratch for early stage start ups to working at large corporate companies such as CrowdStrike.
“I’m excited to be a part of Assured and to be a part of such a fast-growing team! Everyone has been extremely helpful and kind throughout my onboarding process and I can’t wait to be in the office in Herndon.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, taking a yoga class, and most importantly – taking my dog Milo out on adventures.”
Wyland Mendez, Channel Development Manager
Wyland joins us as a Channel Development Manager, covering the western USA.
“I come from a cybersecurity channel focused background, working with some of the top VARs and technology providers in the nation to generate pipeline for managed security deals.
At Assured, I will be managing 30+ named partners to nurture relationships and generate pipeline.”
