Nutanix promotes Daryush Ashjari with added responsibilities

The promotion underscores Nutanix’s strategic focus on leadership continuity and innovation in the competitive tech landscape.

Nutanix has recently elevated Daryush Ashjari to a broader role, entrusting him with additional responsibilities as the company strengthens its leadership team. Two years after joining Nutanix as Vice President of Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) Solution Engineering, his role has been expanded to include chief technology officer (CTO) responsibilities across the region.

Ashjari, previously responsible for key elements of Nutanix's strategic development, will now oversee new initiatives that support Nutanix’s objectives in cloud and data center solutions. His expanded role reflects Nutanix’s commitment to evolving its market offerings and enhancing operational capabilities in line with growing demand for flexible cloud infrastructure and hybrid environments.

Based in Sydney, Daryush leads a team of engineers across the APJ region and directs the company’s technical and solution development engagements with corporates and governments in the region.

“I have a real passion for technology and business transformation, particularly the role hybrid multicloud plays in overcoming the most pressing technological challenges. From AI adoption and future-proofing, through to the rapid uptake of cloud-native applications, hybrid multi-cloud is increasingly playing a central role in IT strategies,” said Ashjari.

In his expanded role as CTO, Daryush will be responsible for engineering, technical operations, and developing innovative solutions for today’s hybrid multi-cloud requirements. Additionally, he will lead c-level engagements across the region.

As an IT industry veteran, Daryush has more than 38 years of IT experience having worked with leading firms IBM, Novell, Cisco, Citrix, EMC, and McAfee.
