Nutanix’s New CEO On Leaving VMware To Build $2B Cloud Star
Mark Haranas
‘VMware has a very broad portfolio. Nutanix is smaller, nimble and has the ability to execute fast and is very focused,’ says new Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami in an interview with CRN.

What’s one big thing you bring to the table for Nutanix?
Overall, it’s about what it takes to run a company at scale, looking at balancing what we need to do on the product portfolio side against how we focus on go to market. And execute with discipline on scaling the company from well beyond $1 billion on where we can take it to. That’s the fundamental background of what I bring.
It’s a transformative time for Nutanix, for the company itself and for the industry as a whole. Nutanix has built a strong foundation. It’s based on great innovation, continued innovation, collaboration and building products that really delight the customers. Customers love the products and Nutanix has a very strong culture of doing the right thing in terms of simplicity, security, reliability and truly delighting customers.
