“As a senior executive with both companies, Mike demonstrated success in selling to businesses of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies, as well as channel partners, resellers, systems integrators and managed service providers,” he said. “TITUS’ goal is to become the undisputed leader in the data protection space.
