Tim Pfaelzer GM and EMEA SVP, Veeam

Veeam Software, Inc., promoted Tim Pfaelzer as GM and SVP of EMEA.

He is responsible for business operations across all segments and markets across the region.

He has been with the company since July 2021 and most recently held the position of VP enterprise EMEA. He has spent more than 20 years in the IT industry, including senior management roles at Dell and various positions at Adobe, Autodesk, and Salesforce.

Based in Germany, he brings his experience in business development, marketing, sales leadership, and general management to the Veeam team and its customers and partners across the region.

“At a time when the success of every organization across EMEA depends on the availability of their critical business data, it’s essential that they are prepared to not just bounce back from an outage or data loss, but to bounce forward,” he said. “Veeam is leading the data protection of customers in EMEA thanks to the combination of industry-leading innovation with an outstanding team of people and partners across our business. We’re helping more EMEA customers keep their business running by bringing the industry’s broadest set of data protection and ransomware recovery capabilities to every company. I’m looking forward to working with all our customers and partners to ensure we build a safer future for every organization.”

“At Veeam, we believe in developing great talent and promoting great leaders from within. Tim is a great example. He has been critical to the growth of our business across EMEA. He is an accomplished leader who puts the needs of our customers and partners at the center of everything we do,” said John Jester, CRO. “This promotion is recognition of the incredible work he’s been doing across the region, and I know I speak on behalf of our global team when I say I’m excited to support him as he leads our continued expansion across EMEA.”

Veeam delivered double-digit revenue growth Y/Y and was recently ranked once again with 20.5% of the region’s market share as EMEA’s #1 provider of Data Replication & Protection software for 1H23 in the latest IDC Semiannual Software Tracker. It had the fastest Y/Y growth rate in the region among the top 5 DR&P vendors at 7.5% and outperformed the regional market average (6.1%).
