He has nearly 20 years of enterprise software sales management and business development experience and previously was vice president of worldwide sales for BT DiamondIP. Hilton was an equity partner of the network management technology company, which was acquired by British Telecom in 2007. Prior to that, he worked four years as the director of sales for Lucent Technologies' VitalSoft software division where he had responsibility for sales, technical services and business operations. There, he worked with service provider and enterprise customers to more than triple annual revenues to $70 million.

"We felt it was time to tap the talents outside our company for a new sales leader with an outstanding record for delivering results," said Yuval Cohen, CEO, Neebula Systems. "Those who have worked with Al talk about the respect and trust he earns from his customers, along with the passion he brings to work. We believe he is ideally suited to lead the number of people we've added to our sales organization and put Neebula's sales on an even higher trajectory."
Al Hilton commented, "This is a terrific opportunity to join a fast-growing start-up with technology that addresses a long-standing need among enterprises, which until now no other company has managed to deliver. Neebula provides a business view of IT to help ensure continuous delivery of business services, along with the capability to pinpoint root cause when those inevitable IT issues arise."
