EVP/GM, Services, Parvesh Sethi: Sethi joins Mirantis from Cisco, where he led a global, multibillion-dollar professional services organization of more than 8,000 members. His role encompassed key growth initiatives such as digitization/IoT, cloud, security, software platforms and managed/hosted services. At Mirantis, Sethi leads the long-term strategy, growth and transformation of the global Services business.

SVP Worldwide Sales, Marque Teegardin: Teegardin has enjoyed tremendous success over a 20-year career in the software industry. He contributed to the significant growth at market-leading companies, PTC, Inc and NICE Systems, where he led teams responsible for over $500m in annual revenue. Prior to Mirantis, Teegardin led a rebuilding effort at StoredIQ, an Austin Texas-based Big Data Governance company. StoredIQ doubled its revenue and became one of the most successful acquisitions in IBM history under Teegardin's leadership. Since joining Mirantis in March of 2015, Teegardin has led the team in a record-breaking year of top-line sales revenue.

The expansion of the executive team follows a pivotal year for Mirantis. The company announced a strategic technology and investment collaboration with Intel as part of a $100 million capital infusion with new investor Goldman Sachs and existing investors August Capital, Insight Venture Partners, Ericsson, Sapphire Ventures (formerly SAP Ventures) and WestSummit Capital. Mirantis also launched its Unlocked Technology Partner Program, adding partnerships with CoreOS, EMC, Pivotal and NetApp, and others, and launching a NFV initiative that spurred integrations with Citrix, Metaswitch, Overture Networks, and Palo Alto Networks. Meanwhile, the OpenStack Technical Committee voted to add Fuel, a deployment and management tool for OpenStack that Mirantis open sourced in 2013, as an OpenStack project under Big Tent.
