Jeff Giannetti Joins Hammerspace As Chief Revenue Officer
Hammerspace, the company orchestrating the next data cycle, today announced the appointment of Jeff Giannetti as its Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) to support rapid growth in demand around the world for its Global Data Platform. With more than three decades of global sales leadership experience, Giannetti will drive the company’s global sales team to continue to accelerate revenue growth, new customer acquisition, and use case expansion within existing customer environments.
Giannetti joins Hammerspace from WEKA, where he served as CRO since 2022. Giannetti was also CRO at Cleversafe (acquired by IBM) and Deep Instinct and held several leadership positions at organizations including Sun Microsystems, Veeam, Digital Ocean and Forcepoint. He worked in NetApp’s sales organization for more than a decade, where the company grew from $700 million in revenues to over $6 billion during his tenure.
Hammerspace’s Global Data Platform revolutionizes the management of data and storage in a world where digital assets can no longer be locked into a single vendor’s storage silo. It enables organizations to use existing data center and cloud storage resources without compromising the ability to explore artificial intelligence and deep learning (AI/DL) and other next-generation uses to extract unrealized value from their data, wherever it may be.
Giannetti joins at a pivotal time in the rapid growth of Hammerspace. The Tier 0 technology introduced in November of 2024 had already begun to transform GPU computing infrastructure design by transforming local NVMe storage on GPU servers into an ultra-fast, persistent shared storage. By activating this previously “stranded” and siloed local NVMe storage seamlessly into a unified parallel global file system, Tier 0 delivers data directly to GPUs at local NVMe speeds, accelerating checkpointing, reducing power utilization and dramatically improving the cost efficiency of shared storage.
