Who knew that the best coffee break conversations would end up happening online? Each month, Pure’s Coffee Break series invites experts in technology and business to chat about the themes driving today’s IT agenda - much more ‘podcast’ than ‘webinar’. This is no training session—it’s a freewheeling conversation that’s as fun as it is informative and the perfect way to break up your day. While we’ll wander into Pure technology, our goal is to educate rather than sell.

This month, host Andrew Miller will invite Paul Ferraro, VP Global PaaS Sales, to the virtual break room. Our 45-minute chat will start with Paul’s experience and lessons learned from years as a customer executive pursuing “as a service” capabilities. As always, we’ll keep it educational before discussing what eventually led him to his current role at Pure, and why his previous customer perspective has him excited about Pure as a Service. Teaser: it’s all about flexibility both technical and financial.
