WekaIO (WEKA), the global data platform provider for next-generation workloads, today announced that it has appointed Jeffery Giannetti as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Reporting to WEKA President Jonathan Martin, Giannetti will be responsible for scaling and driving the company’s global sales organization to support its revenue and growth objectives.

A 30-year veteran of the data management industry, Giannetti brings significant executive sales experience to WEKA. Previously, he served as CRO at Cleversafe and Deep Instinct and has held several global and regional sales leadership positions at notable companies, including Sun Microsystems, Digital Ocean, and Forcepoint. Earlier in his career, Giannetti worked in NetApp’s sales organization for over a decade, helping to grow the company’s annual revenue from $700 million to over $6 billion. 

“As WEKA is now in a period of sustained hypergrowth, building a high-performance revenue engine is fundamental to ensuring we can fortify and expand our global footprint to serve our customers and bring new opportunities to our partners worldwide,” said Martin. “Jeff brings a strong mix of domain expertise and hands-on experience building sales organizations at high-growth companies that will be invaluable to our mission. Even more importantly, he shares our belief that maintaining our positive, supportive, and motivated sales culture is critical to ensuring WEKA continues to thrive, even as our business accelerates.”
