Since joining SNIA nearly nine years ago, Leo has fostered growth and success in establishing SNIA as a global leader in developing and promoting storage standards, technologies, and educational services to empower organizations in the management and protection of their information. Additionally, Leo has been an industry focal point for its events including SNW, SDC, DSI, and SNIA Summits.
“Leo’s leadership and business management have enabled SNIA to accomplish many industry milestones and be well prepared for its future programs and initiatives,” said Wayne M. Adams, SNIA Chairman Emeritus. “We are grateful for his loyal dedication, insights, and countless contributions.”
“I would like to thank Leo for the effort and commitment he demonstrated throughout his tenure as Executive Director. He really threw his heart and soul into the job,” said David Dale, SNIA Chairman. “Leo’s enthusiasm and people-orientation will be missed by many of the people involved with the organization – volunteers, partners and staff alike. We wish him health, happiness and success for the next stage of his life.”
A new Executive Director will be named soon and Leo will continue on as an Individual Member of the association. Leo’s SNIA contributions were honored and recognized as part of the 2016 SNIA Annual Members Meeting at the Westin San Jose, January 20th, during the evening Members’ Recognition program.
