As the year begins, a leading cyber resilience and data protection solutions vendor, Commvault, has announced the appointment of a new field chief technology officer (CTO). This a vital position for any tech-first company, let alone one like Commvault that sells its services to other tech-minded firms.
Now covering as field CTO for the company in the EMEA and India region, including South Africa, will be Darren Thomson. The position will look to steer the building of new cyber resilience offerings from Commvault. Thomson also serves as a vice president for the firm.

“The recent unification of the Commvault Cloud platform powered by Metallic AI allows us to not only meet customer needs, but to truly exceed them. Commvault is doing what no other data protection vendor is right now, so I am keen to work with the teams globally, and in EMEA and India in particular, to drive this conversation forward.”
“We are thrilled to have Darren as part of the EMEAI team and his extensive experience will be extremely valuable in our continued success in this region,” said Richard Gadd, Senior Vice President & General Manager of EMEAI.
