Panasas has named Ken Claffey as its new CEO, succeeding Tom Shea who will return to his role as COO.
Formerly SVP at Seagate, Claffey (pictured) aims to drive customer-focused innovations to fuel the company's future growth.
Andre A. Hakkak, CEO, White Oak Global Advisors, LLC, said: “We made the decision to bring Ken in as CEO because we believe Panasas is well-positioned to build on its success over the last few years as it has moved to a software-defined architecture, increased its revenues, and is now ready to take a step function in its growth and scale.”
