Commvault, a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, named Alan Atkinson as the company’s first chief business development officer. The company also said it added Michelle Graff as senior vice president of global Partners and channel.
In this new role, Atkinson will build strategic next-gen technology and security partnerships, drive co-development initiatives, and create new go-to-market opportunities for Commvault and its partners, all within the Business Development organization led by Chief Trust Officer Danielle Sheer.
In her role, Graff will lead Commvault’s global partner strategy and ecosystem, overseeing partner sales, resellers and alliances, and the vision and execution of the company’s partner programs. She will focus on advancing growth and co-innovation with partners and delivering differentiated cloud and AI-forward solutions to customers.
“Cyber resilience is a shared challenge, and no single vendor can solve it alone,” said Atkinson. “With Michelle leading our global partner organization, my new role will focus on extending Commvault’s capabilities across a broader partner ecosystem. I’ll also focus on creating new co-development opportunities that deliver exceptional value to customers and partners alike.”
Graff said, “As more companies move to the cloud, embrace AI strategies, and adopt industry-leading cyber resilience solutions, Commvault and our partners are more relevant than ever,” said Graff.
