DDN Appoints Kevin Delane as President and CRO to Grow AI Revenue

DDN appointed Kevin Delane as President and Chief Revenue Officer, adding a senior go-to-market leader as it expands its AI infrastructure business amid reports of a potential IPO, referenced in the company’s announcement.

The company said Delane will lead global revenue strategy, go-to-market execution, marketing, and customer success as demand grows for systems that support large-scale AI training, inference, and production deployments.

The appointment follows recent leadership additions, including Guido Torrini as Chief Financial and Operating Officer, as the company scales operations tied to enterprise and government adoption of AI systems.

Delane joins after serving as EVP for platform at Salesforce following its $1.9 billion acquisition of Own Company. He previously held leadership roles at Everpure, formerly Pure Storage, as well as Cohesity and OwnBackup.
