Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions, announced the appointment of Scott Mann as Managing Director and Vice President of Scale Computing International. In this newly created dual role, he will oversee the strategic and operational leadership of the Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region while continuing to drive revenue growth through innovative sales strategies, robust channel partnerships and strengthening Scale Computing’s position as the premier VMware alternative for organizations seeking simplified, efficient, and cost-effective virtualization platforms. He officially assumes this new position in March 2025 and will be based at the company’s European headquarters in The Netherlands.
Scott’s appointment builds on his successful tenure as Global Channel Chief and Vice President of International Sales, a position he has held since October 2023. Since then, he has worked closely with the EMEA team, spearheading initiatives that have increased the company’s footprint in the region. Under his leadership, the region achieved 121% year-over-year growth in 2024, accompanied by a 44% increase in the number of channel partners, demonstrating the significant impact of Scale Computing’s channel-first strategy. Recognized as one of CRN’s 50 Most Influential Channel Chiefs (2019 – 2025) as well as CRN’s Top 100 Executives List (2024, 2023), his leadership has been pivotal in fostering global growth, deepening connections with channel partners and establishing Scale Computing as a trusted leader in IT infrastructure solutions.
