Company Moves to Larger Headquarters in San Francisco
San Francisco, CA– January 18, 2012 –Clustrix announced today that Mark Sarbiewski has joined the company as chief marketing officer. Sarbiewski joined Clustrix from HP, where he was vice president of product marketing for HP Software. As part of its 2012 expansion plans, Clustrix also announced its move, as of this month, to the new, more spacious headquarters at 201 Mission St., Suite 800, in San Francisco.
Sarbiewski’s appointment follows the recent appointment of Robin Purohit, a former top executive at HP and Symantec, as president and CEO. “I am pleased to announce Mark’s addition to our team,” said Robin Purohit. “He brings both large–company and startup experience to Clustrix, and his expertise with both inbound and outbound marketing, as well as category development will be very important for us in this growth phase.”
Sarbiewski joined HP through the acquisition of Mercury in 2006. Prior to Mercury, he was vice president of marketing for InterTrust Technologies Corporation, where he led all key marketing activities.

Our database solution allows them to scale to unlimited users, transactions, and data, while eliminating the need for sharding.”
