In this new position, Williams will be responsible for continuing to build Commvault’s market presence, strengthening current strategic partnerships and growing the customer base, across the APAC region.
Williams brings extensive sales leadership and experience in all routes to market, specifically Enterprise, Channel and Alliances.

Commvault is helping customers meet these challenges and drive their digital transformation with powerful simplicity by unlocking the strategic value of their data.
“Commvault has seen great traction in the APAC region over the past few years and I look forward to building on it,” said Williams. “With a proven track record and innovative new solutions like Commvault HyperScale™ Technology, I’m excited to deepen the relationships we have with current customers and partners, as well as uncover new opportunities that take Commvault to the next level.”
