Wilk ... we have a fantastic opportunity to build our business

Veritas Technologies appoints new ME director

DUBAI, December 6, 2016

US-based Veritas Technologies, a global leader in information management, has appointed Damian Wilk as its new senior regional director for the Middle East region.

In his new role, Wilk is set to head the new leadership team based at Dubai, UAE, and will be responsible for the strategic development of the business in the Middle East, where the company aims to expand its operations across the enterprise market, it said.

Prior to joining Veritas, he held regional director roles with Good Technology and BlackBerry, responsible for the UK and Middle East region. He spent his career in the technology sector, with experience in roles including engineering, sales, regional management, and also as managing director.
 
The company plans to expand its enterprise business and grow operations and the team at its new regional offices in Dubai, over the next three years, said a statement.

The expansion is in response to growing demand from customers in the region for a data management platform that provides greater insights into data and protection of what the company describes as an organisation’s ‘digital currency’, it added.

Mark Coates, emerging markets leader at Veritas, said: “The exponential growth of data and the resources needed to manage it are two key issues facing business in the Middle East today.”

“It’s not just the volume of data but where it is stored and how it moves between private clouds, public clouds, virtual environments and back to on premises. In these increasingly complex IT environments, it’s important to focus on what’s really important - information rather than infrastructure,” he said.

“The appointment of Wilk reinforces our commitment to the region, where he will lead the team as we support increasing numbers of customers in collecting, protecting, analysing and optimising their data,” he added.
 
Speaking on his appointment, Wilk said: “The Middle East’s growing ROT data shows the regional market potential for our data management solutions and we aim to scale our business quickly to support our growing customer base.”

“Working with our partners and supported by our partner force channel programme, our company will be able to help customers develop strategies to protect their most valuable asset,” he said.

“I am delighted to join the Veritas leadership team and to address this unique market in the Middle East, where we believe we have a fantastic opportunity to build our business,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
