Background

About Rustam Khametov

With over 20 years of experience in IT, AI infrastructure, telecommunications, and enterprise storage, I’ve built a career on transforming ideas into scalable business engines. From designing full-stack AI cloud architectures to launching new market operations, I bring a rare blend of technical fluency and business development leadership. My track record includes building channel ecosystems from scratch across different geos, winning multi-million dollar Government and Olympic stadium projects, and opening new markets for companies where I worked and securing flagship customers for them. I led GTM strategy and earned the Best Channel Manager award (in EMC) and was named a Top Performer of the Year (five times in Extreme Networks). Earlier at OCS Distribution, I founded a new department that became the company’s most profitable, pioneering a deal-winning approach for complex enterprise sales. I lead with clarity, build with purpose, and thrive in environments where innovation meets execution. Whether scaling teams, entering new markets, or architecting cloud platforms, I bring energy, vision, and a deep understanding of how infrastructure drives transformation. If you're shaping the future of AI, cloud, or enterprise tech - I’m ready to help build what’s next.
