Senior Manager, Product Marketing
I am Mark Wojtasiak, a Product Marketing Manager with Seagate Technology. For the past 4 years, I have been based in our Shakopee, MN design center where Seagate lives and breaths enterprise storage. Though I work in the middle of everything enterprise, my role at Seagate enables me to listen, learn, discuss, and share anything and everything related to storage. From the traditional desktop to external drives to the cloud, I hope to express opinions and insights on the latest storage technology, trends, customers, and users, while also providing a lighter side to storage. (Yes, there's a lighter side to everything). Its involved in nearly every aspect of our life, at home, on the road and in the office, and it has an undeniable effect on how we live and work. I look forward to listening, learning, discussing, and sharing how "storage effects" all of us.
