About the Team
Meet Sammy Zoghlami, SVP of Sales EMEA
Sammy has called Nutanix home for over a decade. Known as a Nutanix “Veteran,” Sammy has been with the company through its rapid growth. He joined as a Regional Sales Manager in 2013 and climbed the ranks to become our SVP of Sales, leading the entire EMEA organization.
During his time at the company, Sammy has watched the Nutanix culture evolve. Despite this evolution, he feels our core values of “Hungry, Humble, and Honest with Heart” are consistently at work. In particular, Sammy spoke a lot about the core value, “Humble.” He feels that a strength of Nutanix is that people don’t act like they know everything here. Seeking to understand is one of the core principles that allow Nutanix to be successful. Nutants are encouraged to have a sense of ownership and not be risk-averse. Sammy says: “Failure is part of the learning process.”
Sammy shares that Nutaniz has a bottom-up culture, where everyone has a chance to be an entrepreneur and innovate. As a builder, he pushes his employees to succeed and be their best selves. Sammy feels that we must acknowledge and recognize people who put in hard work and have the skills to excel at Nutanix. He is a strong proponent of promoting deserving employees who have demonstrated what it takes to reach the next level.
