PIVOT3 EXPANDS SALES TEAM AND APPOINTS MARC TANGUAY AS
VICE PRESIDENT OF SALES
Company Grows Its Sales Team with Experts in Both
Storage and Physical Security
Spring, Texas – December 18, 2007 – Pivot3 Inc, the inventor of high-definition storage
based on distributed RAID, today announced that is has appointed storage veteran Marc
Tanguay as vice president of sales. Tanguay brings more than 25 years of sales
experience in the storage industry, with a focus on channel and OEM relationships. He
will be leading a growing team comprised of physical security sales experts and storage
sales engineers, who come together to help the company bring its high-definition video
storage solutions to the physical security market.
“Marc Tanguay joins Pivot3 with an impressive track record and understanding of the
channel, as well as end-user needs,” said Robert Fernander, president of Pivot3. “He has
the drive and experience necessary to lead a team with extensive knowledge of the
physical security and the storage market. We are pleased to have another top-caliber
executive join our company.”
“I am excited to be part of a team that develops and markets its products at the
convergence of storage and physical security,” said Marc Tanguay. “Organizations
realize that their increasing video surveillance implementations drive higher storage
capacity and performance requirements. This is a real issue in the physical security
market, where longer retention times and megapixel video are driving the adoption of the
latest IP-based storage solutions. Pivot3 is gaining tremendous traction with its highdefinition
storage solutions. I will be soon sharing more real-world customer stories that
will prove the great market acceptance of the Pivot3 RAIGE™ (RAID Across
Independent Gigabit Ethernet) technology.”
Before Pivot3, Tanguay served as vice president of channels at ONStor, where he
developed and implemented a new channel program, quadrupling partner registrations.
His previous work experience includes senior sales management positions at Network
