ClearCube Technology, a leader in virtual desktop systems including private cloud solutions, zero clients, blade PCs and high-performance workstations, announced today the appointment of company veteran, Kirk Powell to President and Chief Executive Officer. With 30 years of sales, finance and operations experience, Mr. Powell joined the ClearCube team in 2000 and has most recently held the position of Vice President of Operations. During his tenure he has lead with excellence in supply chain management, international partnerships and in many other critical areas.

ClearCube has forged ahead in a market that has been challenging for many other enterprise technology companies and has proven their innovation creates value for its entire value chain. Highlights include

  • A return to profitability and reported profits every year for the last 5 consecutive years (2008-2012)
  • 15% CAGR revenue growth in the 2009-12 period, when the wider PC industry faced a significant decline.
  • Expanded into new markets in the Middle East and South America.
  • Accelerated core product development, introducing over fifty new products.
  • Won numerous awards including the computer industry’s premier channel publication, Computer Reseller News’ prestigious Virtualization Top 100 for both 2011 and 2012.

“ClearCube is a great company with a committed team of marketers, engineers and sales people. We invented PC Blade technology and were a pioneer of the VDI space. If there is one thing ClearCube has done amazingly well, it is innovation. And I am confident, that under Kirk’s leadership, that trend will continue and accelerate.” said outgoing President and CEO, Randy Printz.

ClearCube Technology has also promoted Jim Zakzeski to Vice President, Sales and Marketing. Jim joined the company two years ago as Director of Strategic Alliances, moved to Vice President, Marketing and Business Development managing the marketing staff and strategic business alliances, and now additionally directs the Worldwide Sales team.

“This move is a logical next step for Jim, as it follows his recent successful re-launch of the ClearCube brand and the invigoration of the solution set, adding over 25 new products to the SmartVDI solution suite in the last 18 months. It is an incredibly exciting time for us.” said Kirk Powell, new President and CEO.
