Mark Cree left Hammerspace

Mark Cree, known since NuSpeed, Storspeed and InfiniteIO and finally AWS, with different trajectories has joined Hammerspace end of 2023 to lead strategic partnerships initiatives but he told me a few days ago that he left the company.

For our readers, NuSpeed, a pioneer in iSCSI storage router, has been acquired by Cisco in 2000 for $450M. Storspeed founded in 2007 has been swallowed by CacheIQ itself acquired by NetApp in 2010. We understand that Infinite.io, founded in 2012, has been closed without any transaction in 2021 and almost immediately Mark joined AWS.

He's now on the market for consulting mission advising storage companies.
