SEMPRE Welcomes Donaldson as Chief Digital Officer
At a glance: SEMPRE has appointed Jonathan Donaldson as Chief Digital Officer (CDO). Donaldson brings 35 years of experience building and scaling infrastructure across networking, storage, compute and cloud, including senior roles at Cisco, Intel, and Google Cloud. He will lead SEMPRE’s software, delivery and operations strategy as the company scales to meet growing mission demand.
“SEMPRE brings together everything I’ve worked on over the past 35 years: networking, storage, compute, cloud and secure communications,” said Jonathan Donaldson.
What’s happening: Jonathan Donaldson joins SEMPRE as Chief Digital Officer.
Why it matters: Defense and critical infrastructure operators need secure connectivity and compute that doesn’t depend on the open internet. It has to be deployed quickly across many locations and run as reliably as the digital services people take for granted.
The big picture: SEMPRE simplified the user experience on the battlefield by moving complexity away from the user, operator, and engineer. That meant solving the fragmented networking, security and integration that kept systems from working together, so customers don’t have to relearn, rebuild and reintegrate every time the mission, location, or capability changes. Donaldson has spent his career turning new infrastructure ideas into platforms that operate on a global scale. He’ll bring hyperscale discipline to how SEMPRE builds, delivers, and runs its devices.
Who he is: Donaldson has 35 years of leadership across networking, converged infrastructure, cloud, AI infrastructure and advanced mobility.
What they’re saying: "Jonathan has built platforms that grew from a handful of people into billion-dollar businesses. That experience is exactly what SEMPRE needs as we grow from dozens of deployments to thousands, delivering the same secure experience wherever our customers operate," said Rob Spalding, SEMPRE CEO.
“SEMPRE brings together everything I’ve worked on over the past 35 years: networking, storage, compute, cloud and secure communications,” said Jonathan Donaldson.
What’s next: SEMPRE is entering its next phase of building for scale. Under Donaldson’s leadership, the company will steadily expand delivery capacity and multi-site deployment speed across defense and critical infrastructure markets
