"After all, legacy storage is bulky, costly, and takes up a lot of space, power and cooling, which is an expensive business when you think about hard disks or spinning disks. "And so, we wanted a simple product, something easy to install, but that would not also create a lot of e-waste or forklift upgrades, and migration times and things that cost money and resources for companies," says Armstrong."
""I have the privilege of leading our legal, our HR teams, and our sustainability organisation, as well as our social impact function - we have our corporate philanthropy under me as well," Armstrong says. "The bottom line is, I get all the fun groups. My remit covers everything from governance and compliance to culture and talent, social and sustainability impacts.""
Pure Storage prioritizes sustainability in datacentre product design, aiming to reduce space, power, cooling, and e-waste compared with legacy spinning-disk storage. The founder designed early products to minimize forklift upgrades, long migrations, and resource-intensive installations. The company emphasizes simplicity, creativity, and innovation to inform sustainable practice. Sustainability initiatives are managed alongside legal, HR, governance, compliance, culture, talent, social impact, and corporate philanthropy. Leadership frames sustainability, ESG, and impact as interconnected challenges requiring constant, intentional improvement. The role combines operational governance with social and environmental responsibility to deliver efficient, lower-cost storage solutions.
