Commvault has announced the appointment of Martin Creighan as Area Vice President for Australia and New Zealand. Based in Sydney, Creighan will be responsible for accelerating the company’s presence and strengthening relationships with customers and partners across the region.

With over three decades in the industry, Martin brings a wealth of leadership expertise and knowledge in the software, cloud, technology, telecommunications, and defence domains.

Prior to joining Commvault, Creighan acted as the Vice President and General Manager for Australia and New Zealand of Cloud Software Group (Citrix, NetScaler and Tibco), where he was responsible for go-to-market execution and revenue growth.

Martin Creighan, Area Vice President, Australia and New Zealand at Commvault, said: “The Australian and New Zealand market represents a strong growth opportunity for Commvault, and it’s an honour to step into this position at an exciting time for the company.

I look forward to building on strong foundations and leading this high-calibre team to continue growing our footprint in the region, while delivering industry-recognised data protection solutions for our customers to simplify, manage and extract value from their increasingly complex and evolving data environment.”

“I’m thrilled to welcome Creighan into the Commvault leadership team. With his experience, we look to propel our innovative brand and best-in-class data protection portfolio in the Australian and New Zealand markets, shared Marco Fanizzi, Senior Vice President & General Manager at Commvault International,”

“I am confident that Creighan will continue our streak of increasing positive market perception and support organisations as they rethink their approach to data protection, and to do so before they’re compromised, not just at the point of recovery,”.

Commvault has steadily evolved and innovated its software and Metallic SaaS delivery offerings, today increasingly differentiated with security capabilities.

Earlier this month, Commvault announced new security capabilities across its entire portfolio, redefining data protection to include early warning technologies that help secure against threats before they happen, defend enterprise data if the environment is breached, and ensure recoverability so customers and their data remain resilient in the face of evolving cyber threats.
