Craig Bumpus Chief Revenue Officer, Qumulo

Qumulo, Inc. has appointed Craig Bumpus as chief revenue officer (CRO).

In this newly created role, he will be responsible for accelerating revenue growth, driving adoption of Qumulo as a data platform in both public and private clouds, and scaling a global organization to service customers across the Americas, EMEA and Asia.

This appointment follows the recent additions of Barry Russell, SVP and GM of cloud, and Michael Cornwell, CTO, to executive team and comes during a period of sales momentum. These appointments underscore firm’s commitment to extend its position in leveraging cloud and file software services to enable customers to accelerate their data-driven outcomes.

“Qumulo continues to invest in building a world-class executive leadership team with the right expertise, experience and tenacity to guide the company in its next stage of growth,” said Bill Richter, president and CEO. “Craig’s customer-first approach, extensive background, and proven ability to lead and transform high-performance teams will be a tremendous asset to Qumulo.“

Bumpus brings more than 27 years of go-to-market strategy, channel development, sales enablement, technical sales, operations, customer success and professional services experience. Prior to joining the company, he was CRO at UiPath, a cloud-based SaaS leader in robotic process automation, where he led the growth of annual recurring revenue from $40 million to more than $365 million, an 812% increase, during a 2-year period. He also helped to establish a culture of excellence, enablement and operational efficiency at the company.

“Qumulo’s cloud and file software is unparalleled in its ability to support a variety of applications, to scale massively and to provide fast, data-driven insights to accelerate innovation and business outcomes,” said Bumpus. “I see tremendous opportunity to grow and expand the business as organizations around the world look to leverage file services in the cloud and the data center.“

Before UiPath, he was SVP sales at Nutanix, an IT infrastructure company, where he was instrumental in transitioning the company from a hardware appliance provider to a category-leading cloud and SaaS solution provider. Revenue growth during his tenure at Nutanix grew from less than $100 million to more than $1 billion during a four-year period, which also included an IPO. He has also held numerous sales leadership positions at several companies, including Cisco, Utimaco and EMC.
