Workspot
announced the appointment of Brad Tompkins as President and Chief
Operating Officer (COO). Tompkins brings over 25 years of experience in
software-driven sales models to his role at Workspot, where he will lead
day-to-day operations, including accelerating global growth strategies
and optimizing the company's finance, sales and marketing functions.
As virtual desktop adoption undergoes a major transformation, Workspot
is dedicated to delivering a modern, global VDI service that supports
enterprise requirements for hybrid and multi-cloud strategies and
addresses even the most complex enterprise use cases. Workspot VDI
innovation provides industry-leading 99.99% availability, simple
management, and outstanding performance so businesses can grow beyond
prior boundaries. As President and COO, Tompkins will apply his
expertise to help define the company's overarching direction and
strategy.
"I am delighted to join Workspot at such a pivotal time in the company's
growth. Modern VDI is revolutionizing the way we work today, enabling
businesses to become more agile, while also reducing end-user computing
costs. We're seeing demand flourish as enterprise organizations seek to
modernize outdated VDI solutions, and with Workspot's most recent NPS
score of 80, it's clear that our customers are thriving," said Tompkins.
"I'm looking forward to collaborating with the team to bring these
compelling benefits to more customers across the globe."
Tompkins' trajectory in the software industry led him to hold several
leadership roles. Most recently he held the position of Chief Revenue
Officer at IGEL, where he was responsible for optimizing the company's
revenue generation streams. Tompkins was also Area Manager for Red Hat's
Strategic Sales Team, covering Northern California and the Pacific
Northwest. Before his Red Hat tenure, he held sales leadership positions
with Hewlett Packard, now Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Citrix.
Tompkins holds an MBA in Business Administration and Management from the
University of Virginia, Darden Graduate School of Business
Administration and served in the US Navy as a Nuclear Propulsion
Technician.
Mike Strohl, CEO & President of e360 stated, "I have worked with
Brad for 20 years, since he first joined Citrix as an Individual
Contributor in 2003. After six years at Citrix, Brad worked outside the
EUC community at HP and Red Hat for several years. I was excited to see
him return to EUC in 2017 when he joined IGEL as VP of Sales for
Americas, then as Global CRO. He helped the company transition from
hardware to software and rocket through its hyper-growth period. I
expect great things from Brad and from Workspot as they evolve into a
hybrid/multi-cloud Enterprise VDI solution."
"Workspot is experiencing rapid growth as the demand for modern VDI
solutions accelerates. Amid significant market dynamics, enterprises are
rethinking end-user computing as a strategic path to greater
productivity and overall growth," said Amitabh Sinha, CEO of Workspot.
"We welcome Brad to Workspot as our new President and COO. The wealth of
experience he brings reinforces our deep commitment to innovation and
customer success and he will be a valuable asset to our leadership team
as we continue to serve our customers and scale our business."
