SEATTLE — Oct. 30, 2018 — Qumulo, the pioneer and leader in file storage for the cloud era, today announced Robyn Singh as vice president of people. Singh brings experience at two of the world’s largest companies to Qumulo, where she will focus on people and culture, to include recruiting world-class talent, oversight of learning and development programs, and enriching a strong, award-winning culture as the company continues growth on a global scale. Qumulo, one of Seattle’s fastest growing private companies, announced $93 million in Series D funding this year and today has more than 200 employees.

Prior to her position at Amazon, Singh served as the global vice president of HR for Nintex, a privately-held process and workflow automation company. Singh also served as the executive director of HR at Citrix Systems, where she led a number of acquisitions and integrations to expand the product portfolio of the rapidly growing Online Division.
