Virtual Iron builds on management team by hiring Tony Asaro

Virtual Iron Software, a provider of enterprise-class server virtualization and virtual infrastructure software, is continuing to build out its management team with effective and key players. Back in November 2007, we talked about the company changing their focus to maximize their market opportunities. To that end, Virtual Iron brought in Ed Walsh, a former EMC executive, to lead the company as its new CEO. At the same time, they also brought in another former EMC executive, John McCarthy, as its senior vice president of sales.

Now, Virtual Iron announced that it was able to hire former Enterprise Strategy Group senior analyst and consultant Tony Asaro. Asaro will act as the chief strategy officer to help with the company's focus on business strategy, ecosystem development, evangelism and education of Virtual Iron to the market. He will also complement the company's worldwide go-to-market efforts.

"Tony Asaro is a great addition to the Virtual Iron team as we continue to expand our presence in the fast-growing server virtualization market," said Ed Walsh, president and CEO of Virtual Iron. "We will leverage Tony's deep experience and abilities to sharpen our business, marketing and product strategies and continue to increase our visibility across our user, partner and channel communities."
