Monica Kumar moves to Hitachi Vantara

Hitachi Vantara, the infrastructure, data management and digital solutions subsidiary of Hitachi, has announced the appointment of Monica Kumar as chief marketing officer.

 

Kumar will report to Gajen Kandiah, chief executive officer, Hitachi Vantara.

 

She moves from Nutanix, where she was senior vice president, global marketing and cloud go-to-market.

 

Kandiah said, “Great companies are those who can find a way to articulate their value and differentiate themselves in the midst of difficult macroeconomic, geopolitical, or competitive market conditions. Of course, to do so requires a best-in-class marketing organisation that can cut through the noise and the uncertainty to clearly, simply, and succinctly tell its story and spotlight customer, partner, and employee value. Known to be a fiercely focused, results-driven leader and champion for her customers and partners, I am confident that Monica can help Hitachi Vantara shine an even brighter light on who we are, what we stand for, and how we can uniquely help organisations achieve their business, transformation, and sustainability objectives.”

 

Kumar said, “As a company, Hitachi Vantara has some incredible stories to tell. I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to help showcase not only the solutions, capabilities, and accomplishments of Hitachi Vantara, but the tremendous power of Hitachi and the opportunities it opens for our customers and partners today and tomorrow."

 

Kumar has also worked with Oracle.
