Versant Announces Paul McCullugh as New Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing
June 29 2012 - 9:30AM
Versant Corporation (Nasdaq:VSNT), a worldwide leader in developing
data management software infrastructure for complex,
mission-critical applications, announced today the appointment of
Paul McCullugh as Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales and
Marketing.
Mr. McCullugh brings 20 years of sales and marketing experience
to Versant, including a diverse background in complex high
performance database and middleware applications, open source
products, and cloud services. He has directly sold and built sales
and marketing teams that collectively have generated hundreds of
millions in business value for customers in many vertical
industries.
This new appointment represents Mr. McCullugh's return to
Versant after a twelve year hiatus. As Vice President of Sales at
Versant, he led a team to record performance in 2000. In addition
to his experience with Versant, Mr. McCullugh has a solid track
record of success managing both direct and in-direct customer
relationships in commercial and open source software markets,
including cloud business models. He comes to Versant following a
very successful six year career at Oracle, where he held various
sales positions in the Technology division, most recently as Sr.
Director of Cloud Services. Prior to Oracle, Mr. McCullugh was Sr.
Director of Sales for Sleepycat Software, an open source database
company that was acquired by Oracle in 2006. Prior to Sleepycat,
Mr. McCullugh held Executive Sales positions with several VC backed
start-ups.
"Given the current state of the database industry, it's
especially exciting to return to Versant," said McCullugh. "Not
only do enterprises have far more data in general these days, but
the demands for being able to access the relevant bits of that data
in real time, and the complexity of the applications for that data,
have grown tremendously. This has put the spotlight on NoSQL, and
Versant's brand of NoSQL technologies have a proven ability to
deliver in these changing enterprise data requirements. I'm really
looking forward to taking Versant's sales teams to new heights
again."
