Scale Computing Welcomes Scott Mann as New Managing Director

Scale Computing, recognized as a leader in edge computing and virtualization, has made a significant move by appointing Scott Mann as the Managing Director and Vice President of Scale Computing International. This new role combines strategic oversight with operational leadership for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions.

Scott is set to officially take on these responsibilities in March 2025, working from the company's European headquarters located in the Netherlands. His dual role aims to enhance revenue growth through innovative sales strategies and solidify Scale Computing's status as a trusted VMware alternative for organizations seeking efficient virtualization solutions.

Previously, Mann held the position of Global Channel Chief and Vice President of International Sales. Since his appointment in October 2023, he has played a pivotal role in driving growth across the EMEA region, which reported an impressive 121% year-over-year growth for 2024. This success was accompanied by a notable 44% rise in channel partners, underscoring the effectiveness of Scale Computing's channel-first strategy.

His acknowledgement as one of CRN's 50 Most Influential Channel Chiefs from 2019 to 2025 and inclusion in CRN's Top 100 Executives list in both 2023 and 2024 further illustrate his impact in fostering growth and partnerships within the IT infrastructure sector.

According to Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing, Mann's leadership has been key in fortifying the company's international operations and establishing a foundation for ongoing success. Ready emphasized that the expanded role reflects both Mann's substantial contributions and Scale Computing's dedication to the EMEA region, providing enhanced localized support for partners and customers.

Under his leadership, Mann plans to emphasize growth, operational excellence, and the development of his team. His responsibilities will include driving market expansion, managing regional finances, and boosting Scale Computing's presence as a reliable technology provider. A significant element of his strategy will involve promoting Scale Computing’s channel-first approach by building robust relationships with distributors, resellers, and service providers to maximize customer satisfaction.

Additionally, to fortify Scale Computing's global channel strategy, Kyle Fenske has been appointed as the North America Channel Chief. Fenske brings a wealth of experience in channel management and will collaborate closely with Mann to ensure alignment between global initiatives and localized partner needs.

In his statement, Mann expressed excitement about this new role, emphasizing the EMEA region as a critical area for growth. He looks forward to utilizing innovative technologies tailored to the unique requirements of various industries within the region. Mann anticipates collaborating efficiently with his team and partners to highlight Scale Computing's capabilities in addressing evolving business challenges and achieving tangible results.
