My role will involve helping them adopt or accelerate the Modern Data Protection strategies needed to help them optimize business continuity and ensure maximum availability, protection and security for their data.

The recent 2022 Veeam Data Protection Trends Report showed that 83% of organizations plan to increase their data protection budgets this year – about 6% more than last year. I have the opportunity to help our customers and partners make the best Modern Data Protection investments for their business needs. In addition, I want to support each of our ProPartners in their growth and thus foster even stronger and more intimate relationships with our customers”.
