An emerging leader in the technology sector, Clydesdale-Cotter’s impact on EchoStor has been transformative. He joined Echostor five years ago and, in his most recent role as VP of Innovation, led the creation and growth of EchoStor’s AI GTM Strategy, positioning the company at the forefront of emerging technologies. His leadership in EchoStor’s internal digital transformation efforts has enabled substantial company growth and operational efficiency.  

In his new role as VP of Sales and Marketing, Sikorski is responsible for going to market strategy in pursuit of the company’s overall sales goals. His focus is on building and developing highly performing teams that are singularly focused on creating value for EchoStor’s customers, while maintaining an objective for operational excellence. He is passionate about leading, mentoring and developing sales, marketing, and technical teams. Sikorski has held several leadership positions with over 15 years of sales experience in channel sales. Most recently, Sikorski successfully launched EchoStor’s Tri-State expansion, while driving specialty teams that have supported a rapidly growing Modern Workplace, Digital Workflows and Managed Service portfolio.

“It’s an exciting time here at EchoStor. Scaling our business at a tremendous pace while maintaining and building customer trust is essential for our long-term success,” said Mike Johnson, CEO of EchoStor. “Building and sustaining this trust requires leaders who connect strategic vision with technical execution.
