Thueland has experience in enterprise technology marketing and “a proven track record for scaling startups.”

Previously, she held senior marketing positions at Hewlett Packard, Fujitsu, and Dell as well as the startup Actifio, a data virtualization company sold to Google.
Eva Schönleitner, CEO of Crate.io, said Thueland’s experience helping to build “hyper-growth global businesses will be invaluable as we enter the next growth phase for our company.”
“We see huge opportunities to scale around the edge,” Schönleitner said.
Thueland said this is an “incredible point in time to join the company and work with an ambitious team and represent such a technically advanced product.”
“I am humbled by the opportunity and look forward to the journey ahead,” Thueland said.
