November 2022

Data management company Panzura solved the Great Resignation with culture.

The day California shut down for the Covid pandemic in March 2020 was the same day Jill Stelfox and her colleague Dan Wald schmidt signed the term sheet to buy Silicon Valley based Panzura, the market leader in hybrid multi-cloud data management.

I'm your new CEO!"" says Stelfox, a former certified public accountant (CPA) who helped develop player tracking software for the National Football League (NFL).
