Technologies, most recently as Vice
President and Managing Director, Italy.
He has also held sales leadership roles
with Veritas/Symantec driving sales through
channel and customer engagement.
Riccardo Di Blasio, Chief Revenue
Officer, Commvault, said: “I am confident
that Marco’s extensive experience –
especially in the financial and enterprise
sectors across Europe – will rapidly
accelerate the expansion of our already
growing EMEA business.
“The calibre of our global leadership
team is second to none and we have a clear
objective to simplify, innovate and execute.
Marco has delivered all of these by focusing
on the needs of our partners and customers
– and I know he will continue to do so.”
The appointment coincides with the
appointment of Callum Eade as Vice
President of APJ. Eade joins the company
with extensive sales and business
development experience and will be
responsible for driving growth across
Commvault’s diverse markets in APJ.
The appointments follow a slew of
recent additions that have strengthened
Commvault’s go-to-market team and
reinvigorated its strategic vision for
innovation and global growth. Under
the leadership of Di Blasio, the company
appointed former EMC executive, David
Boyle, as Vice President of Sales for the
Americas. The company also appointed
former VMWare executive, Mercer Rowe to
drive its worldwide channel strategy.
Commvault has also simultaneously laid
the foundation of its vision of the cloud-
enabled future with the acquisition of
software-defined storage specialist Hedvig
and the launch of Metallic, a Commvault
venture offering SaaS-based data
management and protection.
“Not only is Commvault an independently
recognised market leader from a technology
perspective, but I see the company
leadership establishing an entirely new
market for truly seamless integration
storage and data management processes,”
added Fanizzi.
“These are bold and pioneering steps for
any vendor in the market and we need to
ensure all of our EMEA users know about it.
My first priority is to spend time with our
people, customers and partners to listen
to what they need and expect from next
generation data management solutions so
we can continue to deliver on those.”
