THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. and LONDON, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nexsan(TM), part of the StorCentric group and a global leader in unified storage solutions, today announced the appointment of Read Fenner as VP of Global Sales. Nexsan has achieved a number of milestones throughout the year, including the launch of its Assureon ® Cloud Transfer (TM) solution.

His sales leadership and past success align with our strategy as we execute on growth and innovation in the storage industry."
Fenner has experience in establishing and driving to market new sales strategies, channel development and customer management. Previously, he worked at Buffalo Technology where he implemented the company wide sales strategy, channel program and improved margins from 29% to 40% in just over two years. In his new role, Fenner will be responsible for growing sales and working with the channel to build on value propositions that enable partners to drive additional profit margin.
Read Fenner, VP of sales at StorCentric, Parent Company of Drobo and Nexsan, added, "Nexsan has a strong channel offering, and I look forward to building on its track record. Over the next year, we will be adding to our lead-generation programs to send more well-qualified leads to our partners along with helping them to drive additional margin. I appreciate the power of the channel and the importance of building and maintaining tight relationships."
Fenner's appointment follows the addition of Mark Walker, who joined the Nexsan team earlier this year as Channel Sales Director for UK and Ireland. Nexsan is continuing to invest in the channel and through its award-winning partner program, provides Value-Added Resellers (VARs) with strong profit margins through deal registration, sales enablement, marketing support, training and MDF funds.
