Scality, a global leader in cyber-resilient storage software for the AI era, has appointed Tom Leyden as Vice President of Product Marketing. Leyden brings more than 20 years of experience in SaaS, storage, backup, and AI, having held leadership roles at Amplidata (acquired by HGST/Western Digital), DDN, Excelero (acquired by NVIDIA), and Kasten by Veeam.

Driving Marketing for AI-Ready Storage

His mandate includes marketing execution targeting large enterprises, including Global 2000 companies and public cloud providers, while coordinating closely with strategic partners such as Weka, Commvault, and Veeam to ensure joint go-to-market success.

“Tom’s deep storage expertise and strategic marketing leadership makes him an ideal fit for Scality’s next chapter,” said Paul Speciale, CMO of Scality. “His understanding of enterprise data challenges, AI-driven infrastructure demands, and the evolving backup landscape will be instrumental as we scale our reach across cloud, cyber-resilience, and AI markets.”

A Proven Track Record in Enterprise Tech

Over his career, Leyden has led global marketing initiatives across storage technologies, from object storage and scale-out NVMe to Kubernetes-native backup and Agentic AI. He has a proven record of building high-performing marketing teams, defining go-to-market strategies, and driving growth in enterprise sales via partner ecosystems—capabilities that align with Scality’s expansion into AI-ready storage and cyber-resilient hybrid cloud solutions.
