Martin James has been named vice president of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) by Aerospike Inc., the pioneer in real-time data platforms. Martin joins Aerospike with 25 years of experience in the database industry.
Martin came from Percona, where he tripled the company’s revenue across EMEA and APAC. Prior to joining Percona, he managed enterprise sales at DataStax as regional vice president for northern Europe, achieving double-digit growth.
In today’s Right-Now Economy, Martin is in charge of promoting regional growth and satisfying client demand for Aerospike, and will create regional sales teams for Aerospike to meet the strict SLAs set by today’s data-driven businesses.
“Martin brings decades of experience to the Aerospike team. His broad experience in the UK/EMEA region and proven leadership ability will allow him to evangelise our Real-time Data Platform to businesses looking to modernise their data architectures. Now is an exciting time to lead the EMEA region as we extend our footprint across the UK and Europe.” said Jim Lodestro, CRO at Aerospike
Enterprises today depend on mission-critical real-time apps to accomplish business goals. James will promote the Aerospike Real-time Data Platform to companies looking to develop massive real-time applications with guaranteed sub-millisecond performance at gigabyte to petabyte scale.
Following the announcement of record sales of its Aerospike Real-time Data Platform in 2021, Aerospike recently also reported a record first half of 2022. The business tripled sales outside of North America, doubled anticipated 2020 growth, and quadrupled Aerospike Cloud Managed Service growth.
