I look forward to helping a rapidly growing set of customers and partners unlock limitless value from their data.”

“We are seeing growing demand in EMEA for our multicloud data management solutions that give customers and partners exceptional choice in how they protect, manage, and derive value from data,” said Cremen. “We are excited to have Richard as part of the Cohesity team. He has extensive knowledge of the industry, the market, and unique challenges faced by EMEA organizations and will be a major asset to our team.”
