Phil Brace EVP WW Field Operations, Veritas, Replacing Scott Genereux

Veritas Technologies LLC announced new and expanded roles for two of its senior executives.

Phil Brace has been named EVP of WW field operations. He takes over the role from Scott Genereux, who is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities. Having previously led Veritas’ appliances and SDS business, he will be responsible for sales, channels and sales operations for new business.

He joined Veritas in 2019 as the EVP of appliances and SDS . In this role, he led engineering, product management and defined product strategy and execution across Veritas’ NetBackup Appliances, InfoScale SDS and InfoStudio Data Intelligence products. He is a sales and technology leader with more than 25 years of experience in general management, engineering, and product roles. He was previously the president of the cloud systems and silicon group at Seagate Technologies responsible for storage systems business and SSD product divisions. Prior to that, he was the EVP of Seagate’s electronic solutions business where he led strategy, development, and marketing for SSD businesses.

Deepak Mohan, who oversees the company’s NetBackup software, has been named EVP for the company’s combined product organization, which includes data protection, appliances, digital compliance and SDS. His expanded responsibilities cover Veritas’ enterprise data services platform and portfolio of products for availability, protection and insights.

He has served as the EVP of enterprise data protection and compliance at Veritas since 2018. In this role, he led the product strategy, roadmap and engineering delivery for NetBackup, Backup Exec, APTARE, Enterprise Vault, EV.cloud, and eDiscovery platform. He is an experienced business leader and 30-year veteran of the backup and recovery space who started his career at Cheyenne Software. Most recently, he was the SVP of products and engineering at Carbonite and previously led the data protection products at EMC.

“Phil and Deepak’s outstanding leadership has strengthened the Veritas product offerings and helped grow our business over the last year,” said Greg Hughes, CEO. “They will help us continue that momentum in their new roles as we help customers standardize on the Veritas Enterprise Data Services Platform across cloud and on-premise workloads to reduce their IT costs while improving resilience.“
