Meet the Hiring Manager - Craig Lindsey https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-lindsey/ Craig joined Nutanix in 2020 as an APJ Services Sales Leader. I joined Nutanix as it offers a strong opportunity in the market and a place I felt I could really have an impact, whilst working within a company that aligned with my cultural values. Before joining Nutanix, I spent significant time with other technology vendors such as Teradata and Cisco along with working at Systems Integrators including Fujitsu. Each of these roles was in Services Sales and/or delivery. Helping teams win has always been my biggest motivator, the impact is so much bigger that way. I am looking for candidates that are intellectually curious and not afraid to get their hands dirty.
