Elemental Continues Growth by Adding Sales Rock Star

Dan MarshallToday, we're excited to announce a recent addition to our executive team: sales and software veteran Daniel Marshall. As our new VP of Sales, Dan will spearhead development of a global sales team and worldwide sales strategy to drive adoption of Elemental’s enterprise-class video encoding products. After 25 years in the trenches of the enterprise storage, media and broadcast industries, Dan has had an influence on every part of the sales cycle. Learn more about his past successes in the news release. Dan has built a legion of relationships in the video industry in boardrooms, trade show floors and cocktail lounges around the world. Oh, the stories he could tell...

When he's not racking up frequent flyer miles like George Clooney in Up in the Air, Dan calls San Jose home (where he also houses his collection of rare comic books and vintage guitars). An accomplished guitarist, over the past 30 years Dan has played everything from folk to heavy metal in music venues around the Bay Area and with such legendary bands as Silk and Steel and Yellow Hurl.

With so much going on in San Jose, what drew Dan to Portland-based Elemental? "I was instantly attracted to key qualities ever-present at Elemental: the company is quite progressive, scary intelligent and most of all, high-energy. Elemental has the same core ingredients as any successful Silicon Valley start-up – great people and great technology," Dan said. We're glad to hear it and to have Dan on board to hit the ground running in 2010.
