CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Cruiser, provider of the only end-to-end solution for hybrid IT consumption-based delivery, announces the appointment of two executives that strengthen the company's strategy, marketing and operations.

Deirdre Mahon joins as CMO bringing over two decades of experience in enterprise software marketing at both start-ups and large public organizations with a focus on driving sales. Irene Lefton joins as VP Customer Success with many years of experience at numerous international start-ups focused on all aspects of customer service delivery from implementation to training and support.

"The increased demand for Cloud Cruiser's solution is a direct reflection of the enterprise moving to hybrid cloud offerings," stated Dave Zabrowski, CEO & Founder of Cloud Cruiser.

Cloud Cruiser has a first mover advantage and we need to stay one step ahead of the market and deliver the right solutions to our customers. Enabling customer success is absolutely critical to our success and we are laser focused on that," added Zabrowski.

Before joining Cloud Cruiser, Deirdre Mahon was VP of Marketing at RainStor, provider of Big Data solutions for an analytics archive. Previously, Mahon was at Oracle and GoldenGate Software where she built up a global team and helped transform the company from delivering products to solutions. At Cloud Cruiser she is responsible for all facets of marketing including demand generation, product marketing, partner marketing, social, AR and PR.
