Mary Godwin VP of Operations, Qumulo

Qumulo, Inc., a stealth enterprise storage company, announced two appointments to its team: Mary Godwin has joined as VP of operations, and Brett Goodwin as VP marketing.

Both are experienced industry veterans with proven track records in bringing emerging technologies to market, complementing the expertise of Qumulo’s founding team which conceived and built the OneFS distributed file system for Isilon prior to its acquisition by EMC in 2010.
 
 Godwin brings more than 30 years of experience in global operations and supply chain development to her role as VP of operations at Qumulo. She previously helmed the operations team at Isilon, where she supported the company’s transformation to profitability, explosive growth and eventual acquisition by EMC. She also held executive level positions at Solectron and Lucent Technologies. She earned her BS degree in plastics engineering from the University of Massachusetts, and an MBA from Santa Clara University.

 Goodwin has a more than 20-year track record of success in building emerging technology companies. He was among Isilon’s earliest employees, where he served as VP marketing and led the company’s global marketing strategy through its IPO in 2006. Prior to Isilon, he worked at Real Networks, in the streaming media category, where he helped to bring the first media proxy cache to market and supported the company’s enterprise products division through its IPO in 1997. He has also held marketing leadership positions at AT&T Wireless and Skytap. He holds an MBA from Stanford, B.A. in Economics from Pomona College, and studied at Oxford University.
 
“Building a company capable of achieving long term independence is no easy feat, particularly in a highly competitive category,” said Peter Godman, Qumulo’s CEO. “Assembling a best of breed team is paramount to our success. Mary and Brett each bring a specialized skill set and deep domain expertise to Qumulo that will be critical to supporting our successful market entry and long-term viability. We are exceedingly pleased to welcome them to our team.”
