Cushion has held various marketing leadership roles in several young companies including Infinio Systems, Raptor Systems, Interliant, Seahorse BioScience (recently purchased by Agilent Technologies) and most notably EqualLogic which was purchased by Dell in 2008 for $1.4 billion where she then led the storage marketing team contributing to its growth of over $750 million in 3 years.
