"I am excited to be given this opportunity to lead the ANZ team at this pivotal moment in Commvaults evolution," says Gulasekharam.
"We are establishing a new global vision based on the strong foundations of innovation, great products and the best customer support available in the market. I know our offerings are the most respected in the market and I am excited about the opportunity we have to be a pioneer in the next generation of data value delivery.
"I am privileged to be able to build from a very solid foundation in ANZ, and together with my team and partners, have the right conversations with our customers to ensure protection, control, and accessibility of their data that will make them successful now and in the future.
The appointment represents an expansion of the foundation for the Commvault business in ANZ, while marking the evolution of Commvaults go-to-market approach and strategic vision for innovation and growth locally and across the Asia-Pacific region.
"ANZ is a critical market for Commvault APJ, we are deepening our commitment there with a laser focus on innovation and customer experience," says Commvault APJ sales vice president Callum Eade.

I am excited to have Prasanna, who is well known and respected by the team, bringing his proven leadership to the wider ANZ business. I am sure that together we will drive sustainable regional growth while creating a new generation of data management experience and value for our users.
Prior to Commvault, Soepono led the channel - alliances function for APJ for Apptio, managing a diverse APJ partner base delivering software-as-a-service offerings.
