Erwan Menard No More at Scality

There was no press release on the subject but president COO Erwan Menard is no more listed as an executive of Scality on the company’s web site and nobody has replaced him in these two positions.

He was named COO in January 2014 and then also president in March 2015 reporting to CEO Jerome Lecat and based in US HQs in California.

His profile on Linkedin does not indicate this departure.

Menard is a storage and telecommunications industry veteran. From 2011 to 2013, he was COO at DDN, where he achieved significant annual growth. Under his leadership, the DDN team entered new markets, launched DDN’s object storage product and redesigned the company’s customer experience, from demand generation through support. Prior to that, he spent fifteen years in the telecom industry, most recently as VP and GM, leading HP’s communications and media solutions group, managing a 2,400 person team and a $700 million business unit. Prior to leading this turnaround of HP’s telecom business, he held international business management positions at Alcatel, and Alcatel-Lucent, and managed operations in Asia, North America and Europe.

When Menard was named COO – and Philippe Mechanick CFO -, CEO Lecat commented: “We are very pleased to have Erwan and Philippe join the Scality team. They join us at a key inflection point for the company. As object storage enters the mainstream, we’re putting in place the leadership team to support accelerated growth. Erwan brings us proven revenue and strategic leadership skills and Philippe brings a broad range of skills in financial operations. Their contributions will be key to leveraging Scality’s expanding business opportunities and building the next world-class storage company.”
