As one of the architects of Seagate's new market-facing organization structure, Brian has shaped an organization that will further leverage Seagate's strengths to address the specific storage needs of targeted markets and customers."

A career veteran of the storage industry, Dexheimer came to Seagate with the company's acquisition of Imprimis in 1989. He has held a variety of leadership positions, including vice president and general manager of Seagate RSS (Removable Storage Solutions), senior vice president, marketing and product line management for desktop disc drives, and senior vice president, worldwide sales and marketing.

In December of 2005, he was named to the additional responsibilities of leading the company's newly defined business units.
