Richard Gadd SVP of EMEA and India, Commvault

Commvault Systems, Inc. appointed Richard Gadd as SVP EMEA and India (EMEAI) region.

He will lead the region in empowering global organisations with cyber resilience offerings that protect and recover data from today’s biggest cyber threats.

He brings 25 years of sales experience in the technology industry. He most recently held the role of VP and GM, EMEA at Cohesity, building his experience in the storage and data management industry. Prior to this, he also held senior roles at Hitachi Vantara, EMC, and Computacenter.

In these previous roles, he was successful in growing Hitachi Vantara’s EMEA business to become the company’s largest region WW, as well as leading on Cohesity’s EMEA portfolio to make it the organization’s fastest-growing region.

He plans to bring this experience into Commvault and achieve similar go-to-market successes within the EMEAI region.

“To join one of the longest-established companies in the industry is exciting,” he said. “With its strong pedigree in innovation and ground-breaking technology, I’m looking forward to being able to lead and contribute to the Commvault team’s excellent work in empowering global organizations’ cyber resilience going forward. I am very excited to begin this new challenge.”

In appointing Richard, we are incredibly confident that we have made the right choice. His distinguished track record of guiding several large-scale organisations to accomplish remarkable growth and market share aligns perfectly with the vision and potential we see in him spearheading Commvault’s team in EMEAI.”
