Nasuni has confirmed the appointment of Sam King as its new Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Paul Flanagan, who is retiring after eight years in the role.

Paul Flanagan will continue to be a part of Nasuni's board, taking on the position of Non-Executive Chairman, after a period of notable leadership. During his tenure, Flanagan facilitated significant growth in the company's revenue, customer base, and workforce. His contributions also included the integration of key acquisitions and the introduction of new product innovations.

Expressing his confidence in the new leadership, Flanagan said, "I am thrilled to welcome Sam to Nasuni as our new CEO. We could not have found a more qualified person or a better cultural fit to lead Nasuni in its next phase of growth. The executive team and I are committed to working with Sam to make this transition as seamless as possible and ensure Nasuni continues to make our customers successful and our company a great place to work."

King brings a wealth of experience to her new role. Previously, she served as the CEO of Veracode from 2019 to 2024, where she notably scaled the company into a leading figure in the application security domain. Her time at Veracode began in 2006, during which she held several senior roles in product, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate strategy.

In her appointment as CEO, Sam King commented, "I am honored to join Nasuni as CEO at such an exciting time for the company. I want to thank Paul for his outstanding leadership and congratulate the Nasuni team on successfully disrupting the legacy enterprise storage market with their transformative unified file data platform. As enterprises navigate the triple challenge of AI adoption, accelerated cloud migration, and supporting distributed workforces, Nasuni's role as the trusted data custodian is increasingly vital. The future belongs to organizations with data strategies that deliver seamless collaboration while maintaining strong security and performance—precisely where Nasuni excels. I am energized to build on our exceptional relationships with customers and partners, understanding their needs while accelerating our product innovation. Together, we will advance Nasuni's platform to anticipate market requirements, cementing our leadership position while empowering customers to unlock unprecedented value from their data assets."
