Our Leadership

If you asked a young Chuck Gordon what he wanted to be when he grew up, the co-founder and CEO of a tech company in the storage industry would not have been his answer. Chuck’s path to becoming the CEO of Storable has been anything but ordinary.

Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Chuck ventured out west for college, where he studied ceramics at UCLA. It didn’t take long before Chuck met his suitemate, best friend, SpareFoot co-founder, and future Storable CIO, Mario Feghali. The two came up with the idea after Chuck was struggling to find a place to store his stuff as he prepared for a semester abroad. They soon relocated to Austin, TX to launch SpareFoot, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Chuck is truly the heart and soul of our company. He’s fearless and fun-loving, never afraid to admit when he doesn’t know something and is always open to new ways of thinking. His leadership style reflects his personality — he values hard work but not at the expense of anyone’s happiness. It’s no surprise that Chuck’s favorite country to visit is Bhutan, where Gross National Happiness is a key metric.

When he’s not working to shape the future of Storable and the Self Storage Industry, Chuck enjoys crafting elaborate meals in the kitchen, spending time with his wife Jessica, tending to their garden, playing with his Sussex Spaniel Napoleon, or adding to his total of 56 countries visited. A natural leader, he takes us places, and the team at Storable is ready to follow Chuck’s lead wherever that might be next.

One look at Charlie, and you know he was born to be a business leader. He’s sharp. Driven. Worldly. And dedicated. He graduated from the Mays Business School at Texas A&M before building a high-level performance career at tech companies like Dell, Bazaarvoice, and SpareFoot. He’s experienced in marketing, sales, client services, operations, product development, and more. When it comes to business, he’s seen a lot and done a lot. And when it comes to Storable, he pushes us to stay focused on progress – to keep getting better.

But don’t let his buttoned-up, all business all the time image fool you; Charlie’s just a guy who likes computers and Star Trek. So much so that he has Alexa programmed to respond to “Computer,” and even has a dedicated room complete with a phaser and Klingon Bat’leth sword. A true Trekker, indeed.

When he’s not focusing on the Health of The Business, Charlie’s busy retrofitting his home to be as automated as possible (like the Enterprise) and traveling to mountains and lakes for some boating, mountain biking, or shredding some fresh powder.

His sense of adventure and appreciation for anything well-crafted and engineered makes him the perfect fit for his role at Storable, as he continues to push and motivate our company to boldly go where no tech company has gone before.

Mario probably wouldn’t have said he wanted to start a tech company when he grew up. His degree in Psychobiology wouldn’t have suggested that’s what he’d end up doing either. Yet, here he is, the Co-Founder of SpareFoot and now, Storable’s Chief Innovation Officer.

He was born in Monterey, California but grew up in Boone, North Carolina. Where his parents, who immigrated to the United States from Lebanon, taught at Appalachian State University. They moved to Bakersfield, California, when he was in junior high. And while he loves playing the piano and was once in a punk rock band, he didn’t become the next great musical talent from Bakersfield. However, his passion for learning, instilled by his parents, led him to UCLA, where he became suitemates, and then best friends, with Chuck Gordon — a fateful event that led to the birth of SpareFoot.

As our Chief Innovation Officer, Mario is as dedicated to reimagining how technology can shape the Self Storage industry as he is to mastering his foosball skills and planning elaborate practical jokes. Just ask him about the ongoing hot dog prank he started over ten years ago. Spoiler alert, it involves him filling someone’s car to the brim with hot dogs.

When Mario’s not inspiring us to move the needle, you’ll find him playing tennis, carving up a mountain on his skis, or scuba diving in unforgettable places like the Seychelles. But his favorite time spent outside of work is with his wife, Erika, and their two German Shepherds, Beau and Biggie, in their home in Austin, TX.

We know we can count on Mario to help spark our next great innovation or evolution, and leave a hot dog, or 500 of them, in the most unexpected of places.

Gill Godfrey heads up Storable’s People Operations. And as such, you might say she’s the Queen of our Culture. And not just because she hails from the United Kingdom, but because she takes her charge as a leader seriously and knows that no organization can reach its full potential without empowering its people.

Gill’s formal education, while intense, was non-traditional. She graduated from the Institute of Training and Development, now the Institute of Personnel and Development. With a focus on change management and organizational design, she has completed thousands of hours of training to better understand how adults learn and adapt.

Her professional journey began in the UK and saw her move to Los Angeles, Austin, and Miami before coming home to Austin, TX. She’s served in a variety of senior HR positions with Virgin, Brightstar, Golfsmith, and several other SaaS providers. Every stop emboldened her passion for people and a transparent and open culture.

Outside of work, Gill is easily the most exciting HR person in the world. She narrowly escaped a stampeding elephant in India and has an elephant tattoo to remind her that she’s not about to get trampled no matter what challenge she’s facing. When she’s not off on an adventure or visiting family in England, Gill and her husband are at home in Austin with their two dogs, Martha and Annie. You’ll find them enjoying their pontoon boat on Texas lakes, experimenting with new recipes, and rooting on the Cleveland Browns and Southampton F.C.

Gill’s steadfast belief in an open, transparent, and progressive corporate culture is what continues to set Storable apart from other tech companies. She sets the pace, and we all enjoy the ride.

As our Chief Revenue Officer, Greg’s charge is hitting our revenue goals, leading our sales, implementation, and customer success teams, and expanding our market presence. No short order, but there’s nothing Greg likes more than a challenge.

Greg grew up in Chicago and is a big fan of Chicago sports teams; especially the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs. Greg was taught at a young age the importance of hard work and focus. He graduated from Miami University with a degree in Business Psychology. With school debt and little money, Greg opted for a career in sales that eventually landed him at a successful start-up that went public and where he fell in love with the innovative and energetic environment that comes with a brand new enterprise. Greg’s worked for a number of companies since, including many of whom were acquired or went public, including Access Health/McKesson; Evity/BMC Software; Convio/Blackbaud, WebMD, and Bazaarvoice.

When Greg isn’t helping us hit our goals, you’ll find him expending that competitive energy elsewhere. He’s an avid cyclist and loves the outdoors. But more than staying active, Greg enjoys time with his family the most.

Greg is a competitive spark that helps Storable to achieve our goals in the industry. He keeps us motivated and inspired to get the job done and continue to shape the future of Self Storage

Eppie Vojt loves analyzing data and studying trends. And he believes all successful innovations are derived from both. This approach has helped Storable, and our customers, win time and again, which is why, as our Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer, Eppie leads Storable Labs to be both cutting-edge and customer-centric.

Eppie’s path to Chief AI Officer followed 2 years as Storable’s Chief Product Officer and 3 years before that leading Storable’s SpareFoot business. He came to Storable after 5 years in executive leadership roles at Red Ventures.

Outside of work, he’s interested in whatever his kids are into. Usually, it’s a sport, as he’s coached them to winless basketball seasons and undefeated soccer seasons. Lately, it’s running, with several half-marathons and 10-milers under his belt. He also enjoys building things  (home remodeling projects, furniture, proof of concept software), playing various musical instruments, and all things Pitt (Alma Mater, wise and glorious)..

Eppie truly loves his job and never stops searching for ways to deliver more value to our customers. His curiosity and analytical skills continue to lead us to breakthroughs and new opportunities. We can’t wait to see what big idea he comes up with next.

It’s not often you find someone with extraordinary technical abilities and outstanding people skills. In Sateesh, we’re fortunate to have both.

He has a passion for customer success and spent most of his career helping small- and medium-size businesses with solutions that spurred growth. He’s led global teams of engineers at Silicon Valley companies, including Symantec, Intuit, Lithium, TriNet and Jemstep, transforming complex legacy platforms into scalable cloud-based solutions that delight customers and enable sustained growth.

A self-admitted geek who enjoyed programming in assembly language early in his career, he can’t resist tweaking new gadgets. Sateesh spent many happy hours debugging early versions of Roku devices and boasts a collection of early versions of Roku and other streaming devices.

A graduate of Stanford Executive Program from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Sateesh has a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the Manipal Institute of Technology.

Of course, we’re delighted to have him on our team, and not just because he’s a great technology leader who people want to work for. He’s also a community organizer and a leader who champions and supports various causes to help those in need.

When he’s not making the world a better place, Sateesh enjoys hiking the trails in the Bay Area, and mentoring new grads and new entrepreneurs. Most of all, he enjoys spending time with his wife, his daughter and their dog, Peach.

As a distributed business with a remote workforce, collaboration is key at Storable. That’s where Molly’s superpowers come into play. As our Chief of Staff, she’s adept at bringing people together to solve complex problems.

She worked her magic right out of college as an urban planner working with a Council of Governments representing 30 different cities and seven counties to work together. Later in her planning career as a consultant, she helped military installations and surrounding communities find solutions for compatible land use — enabling the military to fulfill its mission and the surrounding communities to achieve their goals. (Ask her about riding in a Black Hawk helicopter to get the lay of the land.)

At every stop on her career path, Molly has made things better than when she arrived. At the University of Colorado, she worked with the Public Safety Department to implement a faster dispatch system. At Jeppesen (now Boeing), she kept a global team of over 500 people on a flight path for continued success. And at Ulteig, she helped rebuild a strategic plan for this engineering company to double in size in less than 18 months. 

When Molly’s not helping Storable manage its growth, she likes to spend time with family and friends, visit breweries and enjoy the outdoors. She loves to ski (even schussed the slopes at Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates) and is a big fan of F1 racing. That’s not surprising, considering that teamwork is essential for success on the track. And while we won’t ask her to change our tires or fill our tank, we rely on her to help us compete and stay in pole position.

Meet Brian Dockray, Storable’s CFO, with a passion for growth and a knack for taking on diverse challenges. Armed with a long history of leading technology-enabled businesses, Brian is savvy as he is down-to-earth.

After graduating from Lehigh University, his professional journey started in the concrete jungle of New York City with Deloitte, one of the Big 4 accounting giants. Later, he wore many hats at NBC, combining finance and corporate development to help shape the company’s expansion and financial future.

Then, Brian was the CFO of Ipreo, a capital markets technology business. They grew into a global giant, generating over $300 million in revenue and hiring over a thousand people. In 2018, he played a critical role in the sale of Ipreo to IHS Markit, now part of the S&P.

Before joining us at Storable, Brian also served as CFO to tech companies like Insurity (InsurTech) and LinQ (EdTech). He’s all about growth and scalability, balancing the books, and keeping an eye on the future.

Brian loves mentoring folks and helping them reach new heights in their careers. He’s got a long list of success stories from the team members he’s coached and considers this to be his most valuable skill.

Beyond business, Brian loves spending time with his wife and twin daughters. He’s an outdoorsy guy who’s big into skiing, golf, tennis, hiking, and anything else that lets him soak up the great outdoors.

As our Chief Product Officer, Jason Palmer brings over 30 years of experience and an unwavering passion for delivering results for customers to the table. He earned a degree in Marketing and Economics from Oregon State University. Throughout his career, Jason’s been a key player in Sales Automation, Web Analytics, Digital Marketing, and Connected Vehicles. He’s even got a stash of over 40 patents in Digital Marketing and Connected/Autonomous Vehicles. Impressive, right?

Jason’s secret sauce is making sure his teams always think of customers first and designing and delivering a solution that delivers results for our customers. He’s all about advanced analytics, optimizing things with Machine Learning, and using data to make Storable’s products Do More.

What keeps him going is the real, measurable results he can bring to the table for customers. He’s all about making a difference where it counts.

But Jason’s not all business. He lives in Carlsbad, California, and loves mountain biking and skiing in his downtime. He has a wife,  two sons, and two Boxers – the latter pair you’ll likely see sleeping next to Jason on Zoom calls.
