Microsoft alum Vince Menzione joins the Thriftly team

Thriftly is excited to announce that Vince Menzione has joined our growing team as Alliance and Business Development Advisor. The role will focus specifically on building relationships in the Microsoft ecosystem.

“We are very excited to welcome Vince to the Thriftly team,” said Riaz Merchant, Founder and CEO of Thriftly. “Vince has extensive experience in working with channel partners in the Microsoft ecosystem and shares our view on how the Thriftly API platform benefits companies in the connected world.”

Vince joins the Thriftly team while simultaneously serving as Founder and CEO of Cloud Wave Partners, a firm that enables technology organizations to build profitable relationships and execute effective strategies to scale and grow their business. In this position, Vince pursues his passion for disruptive technology, partner strategies, and connecting organizations to deliver results during this age of rapid digital transformation.

Prior to founding Cloud Wave Partners, Vince advanced and delivered three successful transformations. As Microsoft’s GM for US Public Sector partner sales, he led a $4.6B channel business during the transition to a cloud services model. As VP of General Dynamix Itronix, he triumphantly launched a new business segment, developed GTM, channel, and sales procurement, and forged a key partnership that resulted in the successful divestiture of the business. At Zebra Technologies he developed the value proposition and exponentially grew a new business.

“I’m excited to be part of the Thriftly team, and work with Riaz and the leadership to shape and drive the Alliance and Business Development strategy,” said Vince. “As more and more organizations look to transform, Thriftly bridges the gap and accelerates that transformation from traditional on-premise environments to cloud solutions like Microsoft Azure.”
