Finn succeeds Dan FitzSimons, who will remain at the company in an advisory capacity. The company also reaffirmed its third quarter and full-year FY26 guidance provided in its second quarter FY26 earnings announcement.
“Pure Storage’s opportunity has never been greater, and Pat’s deep experience scaling business performance and driving customer loyalty with leading global enterprises will help accelerate our next phase of growth,” said Charles Giancarlo, CEO of Pure Storage. “As I warmly welcome Pat to Pure, I would also like to express my deep gratitude to Dan, who has been instrumental in establishing Pure’s foundation for growth – scaling the company from its modest beginnings to its more than $3 billion in annual revenue today.”
