A 20-year industry veteran, Hoda most recently served as CMO of ParStream, Inc., an Internet of Things (IoT) analytics company, recently acquired by Cisco. Previously, Hoda served as a senior executive at Cisco in a variety of management roles in the US, Europe, and Asia. Hoda was General Manager of Cisco’s Emerging Solutions Group in San Jose, California and was also instrumental in the launch of the company’s Globalisation Center in Bangalore, India.
 
“The Digital Economy demands a next-generation infrastructure, which provides agility, reliability, and scalability to keep up with the speed of business. Scality is an industry leader helping customers compete in this new world of software-enabled business models,” said Hoda, CMO of Scality. “The Scality RING, for example, is one of the most powerful storage solutions in history, and it’s this trinity of innovation, sophistication and product elegance that has me excited about Scality’s future.”
 
“2015 has seen tremendous growth within the storage market, and 2016 shows zero signs of slowing down. We are excited to have Syed Hoda join our senior leadership team. He has successfully led marketing functions through the “growth” phase, in both larger and start-up environments throughout the world. As our new CMO, Syed is charged with leading Scality’s evolution within this billion dollar industry to capitalise on our company’s growing, global opportunity,” said J?r?me Lecat, CEO of Scality.
 
Hoda’s onboarding comes at the end of an impressive year for Scality, marked by a recent $45 million round of funding, strategic growth in the Americas, Paris and Japan, global resale agreements with Dell and HP, a series of high-profile customer wins, and significant enhancements to the Scality RING, which were made generally available in March 2015. In June, Scality released a free online trial of the software, and in September, created an additional free online trial focused on digital video storage use cases.
 
Hoda studied Industrial Engineering as an undergraduate at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and earned a Master of Business Administration from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He is also a regular contributor to The Huffington Post.
