With over thirty years of experience, Derlinchan is an industry expert who knows how to provide the most advanced data storage technologies and solutions to customers in the region.

In her new role, Carmen will help customers transition to the future fully flash data center, leading to sustainability goals through modern and energy-efficient flash storage. Carmen will also help customers achieve their own goals at each stage of AI implementation, from data curation to model training and inference, regardless of where companies are in their AI adoption. All of this is made possible through unparalleled flexibility: whether through traditional storage ownership or through STaaS, using a cloud operating model.
“I am proud to work closely with our customers and partners every day in Spain, and I look forward to developing these relationships throughout the EMEA South region. I am excited about the enormous opportunity we have to help customers achieve their global sustainability, AI, and data management goals through the use of simple and modern flash solutions.” – Carmen Derlinchan, SE Director for the EMEA South region at Pure Storage. “Carmen has a proven track record of innovation in Spain and Portugal companies, and it’s great that she can now bring her expertise to the rest of the EMEA South region for Pure Storage.” – Seb Darrington, Vice President, Systems Engineering, EMEA.
