Experience Summary

I bring 25 years of hands-on technical and strategic experience across the enterprise data protection landscape. My career spans engineering, solutions architecture, and director-level leadership at HP, NetIQ, Commvault, and Veeam, covering both the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions.

At Commvault, I built and led APAC presales and solutions marketing teams, managing partner alliances with AWS, Microsoft, HPE, Cisco, Google, and Lenovo across multiple regulatory jurisdictions. At Veeam, I lead enterprise engagement across the Americas, working directly with the largest commercial and federal accounts on data resilience strategy, compliance architecture, and AI governance readiness.

This combination of deep technical competence, executive communication capability (grounded in formal training in the Meisner tradition), and cross-jurisdictional experience across federal, commercial, and international contexts equips me to provide clear, substantive testimony on complex data security and technology matters.
