Career Highlights

• Vice President of International Sales at Panzura, named on the company’s leadership team page.
• Author of Panzura’s June 2026 Provider Playbook series, which argues that customers’ unstructured file data is an untapped managed-service opportunity for providers.
• Author of a September 2025 Panzura article on CloudFS for architectural firms, covering global design collaboration and growth economics.

Professional Journey

Panzura’s own account of Telling’s background is brief: it calls him an experienced sales leader with a proven record of hitting sales targets and driving success in both enterprise and start-up businesses. It names no prior employers, and none are recorded here.

At Panzura he leads international sales. The company is organised with separate vice presidents for North American and international sales, under chief executive Karthik Ramamurthy and executive chairman Guy Churchward. Panzura sells a hybrid cloud file platform: CloudFS keeps a single authoritative copy of each file in object storage while serving it at local speed across locations, alongside Panzura Express, Data Services, Threat Control and Edge; Nexus, which opens the file estate to Microsoft 365 Copilot and other AI with permissions enforced; and Symphony, which governs and orchestrates file data wherever it lives.

His published writing for the company shows where the international sales effort is aimed. In September 2025 he wrote on CloudFS for architectural firms, a sector where distributed teams work on very large design files. In June 2026 he wrote the opening instalments of a Provider Playbook series aimed at managed service providers, arguing that customers’ ageing and fragmented file estates, and their unreadiness for AI tools such as Copilot, create a durable recurring-revenue service line for providers.
