AtScale expands internationally, appoints North America and Europe leaderSAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AtScale, the first company to bring the power of Hadoop to business users, announced today that it appointed David Whitwell as its Vice President of Eastern US and Europe Sales. As part of this new appointment, AtScale is opening a new office in New York to host David's current team and new hires. Whitwell is an experienced sales executive who helped companies like Cloudera, Salesforce and SuccessFactors become dominant players in their market. During his tenure at Cloudera, the company acquired some of the largest financial services in the world as customers and it doubled its business reach in Europe. "David brings an incredible amount of credibility and experience. He's an industry powerhouse, and he is the perfect leader to bring on board as we expand our footprint across the nation and into Europe," said Dave Mariani, CEO and Founder at AtScale. Transformational Technology, Impeccable Timing AtScale has enjoyed an unusual amount of interest since it launched earlier this year. Jerry Yang (Yahoo! co-founder) and Amr Awadallah (Cloudera co-founder) joined the Series A round the company announced in June. Partners like Microsoft and Tableau have participated in AtScale's traction and the company was singled out by CRN in July 2015 as a "Top Company to Watch." Additionally, AtScale technological advantage has been amplified by three key factors: strong community support for BI-on-Hadoop, the growing adoption of Hadoop in the enterprise and the strong motivation vendors and users have to connect BI to Hadoop. "AtScale has emerged at the perfect time," said Whitwell, "it's exciting to be part of company that has the right architectural choice, the right timing and the rest of the industry supporting its vision and message."
