Steve Kaplan, a former solution provider who later helped Nutanix build the indirect sales channel that led to its success in the hyperconverged infrastructure business, is now considering a move back to his solution provider roots.
Kaplan, who Thursday finished his eight-plus-year run at Nutanix, most recently as vice president of customer success finance, left as the company tweaked its channel and global teams, he told CRN US.
“My team was merged with a broader global team,” he said. “I decided the time was right to leave. My work here was done.”
Nutanix was unable to discuss Kaplan’s departure by press time. However, a Nutanix spokesperson, in response to a CRN US request for more information, replied via email by saying, “We appreciate Steve’s contributions to Nutanix and wish him the best in his future endeavours.”
