Irvine, United States Netlist Full time

Vice President of Sales

Netlist (OTCMKTS: NLST) provides high-performance modular memory subsystems to customers in diverse industries that require enterprise and storage class memory solutions to empower critical business decisions. In high-performance computing environments, such as cloud-based computing and Big Data applications, a system's overall processing speed is limited to the ability of the central processing unit ("CPU") to access data cached in memory. Memory speeds have failed to keep pace with improvements in CPU processing speeds, resulting in buffering delays encountered in highly intensive computing environments. Netlist's memory subsystems and intelligent controller technology will most effectively address the industry's growing need for high-speed data management and analytics.

The person in this role will oversee the development and implementation of fundamentally strong sales processes to support Netlist's sales team and to partner with other organizations in the company.
