About the Team
Meet the hiring manager, Haresh Kripalani, VP, Product Management:
I joined Nutanix in 2016 as part of the Product Management team. I have been very fortunate to participate in many firsts for the company during my entire tenure at Nutanix, and it continues to be so even now. Before Nutanix, I had experience in a similar role at another large sized vendor in the data center space. I live with my wife and our seven-year-old daughter. In my time outside of work, I travel, play with my daughter, and spend time with my family.
I believe that most people can deliver extraordinary results if they have the grit to do so and if they are in a supportive environment. The guide team at Nutanix focuses on providing that supporting environment, and we hope you bring the grit.
