About the Team

Meet the hiring manager, Haresh Kripalani, VP, Product Management:


I joined Nutanix back in 2016. Nutanix has been the first in many ways in how infrastructure software is sold, and I am fortunate to have been a part of many of those transitions. 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. Nutanix focuses on providing that supporting environment, and we hope you bring the grit.
