”I am honored to join an innovative company like Storj that is delivering enterprise-grade Web3 infrastructure now, especially in these times of austerity. Storj offers a service that will enable enterprises of all sizes to dramatically cut costs immediately, no matter what their current storage strategy is,” said Glasgow. “My role as CRO is to lead Storj as it enters new markets, creates additional revenue channels, and brings decentralized cloud storage to customers around the globe.”
Storj has established momentum with Web2 IT infrastructure teams and developers by providing a highly performant, more secure, private, cost-slashing alternative to the mega cloud storage lock-in and environmentally wasteful hyper-scaler architectures. Storj is well positioned with a disruptive product — set to deliver on two major and imminent cloud architecture shifts: 1) Web3 and the internet privacy mandate and; 2) the move to globally distributed and edge-based workloads stack.
