The executive chairman of Compuverde is Swedish entrepreneur Mikael Blomqvist, also a board member of Blekinge Institute of Technology[6] In 1989, Mikael Blomqvist founded the cable insulation producer Roxtec[7]. As a provider of data storage, Compuverde is a member of the worldwide nonprofit association SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association) which aims to work towards the goal of promoting acceptance, deployment, and confidence in storage-related architectures, systems, services, and technologies across IT and business communities[8].
