Kagele joined Hyve Solutions in 2025 and has been focused on the company's business, culture, and operations. He brings extensive industry experience spanning all aspects of the technology marketplace, including senior leadership positions at Western Digital and Sandisk, where he served in the Chief Revenue Officer role. His career-long focus on customer needs and strategic vision for expanding Hyve's service offerings position him to lead the company.
