Since joining Infinidat, Herzog has transformed the company into an award-winning enterprise storage brand and helped Infinidat earn over 20 prestigious industry awards annually for three consecutive years, gaining Gartner Magic Quadrant leadership status for the sixth year in a row as the only privately-held company on the “go-to list” for enterprise IT buyers.

Regarded for his technical prowess and strategic vision, Herzog has pioneered Infinidat’s innovative brand, channel, product, and thought leadership programs that have rapidly accelerated revenue growth.

As both a strategist and technology evangelist, he has achieved outstanding success expanding market visibility, igniting excitement in the channel, and making significant industry impact. “Marketing in the storage industry has evolved to not only communicate about technical value, but also about business value, and it takes an integrated marketing approach to truly unlock the power and potential of this message,” says Eric Herzog, CMO, Infinidat.
