About John Collins

Hello and hope you are having a great day! I am a seasoned leader with strong background in storage, memory technology, cloud, computing, video/graphics, networks, and mobility. My engineering background allows me to participate and collaborate at the CTO level within the customer base and helps to uncover true technical issues that ultimately lead to sales opportunities and collaboration. The commercial aspects of the disruptions in the IT Infrastructure marketplace are creating massive opportunity for leaders that can navigate these discussions and challenge the status quo.Specialties: ability to build advocacy and trust at C-levels and ensure future alignment that will generate growth. The 3rd platform and build out of the Software Defined IT Infrastructure is leading to new and exciting sales opportunities for NAND and HDD based platforms, NVM solutions and high density HDD\'s/ SSD\'s. With AI training and Inference becoming the new battleground for competitiveness, storage requirements are being redefined every day. Give me a call or send a note if you are interested in discussing the data center transformation. All the best
