“Commvault’s focus on our customers and partners as well as the current transformation disruption and our approach to it are the main reasons that I was attracted back to the company,” said Cid de Rivera. “I had many wonderful experiences in my previous time with Commvault, and I can’t wait to be a key member of the team as International VP of Sales Engineering as we realise the opportunities ahead of us with our clear technology and solution provision leadership. Commvault’s new corporate structure, leadership, and SaaS functionality with Metallic means we have unlimited possibilities to help our clients and prospects to be truly successful. An outside-in view of customer needs makes the biggest difference in business, and I know that at Commvault, this is where we stand out from the crowd.”
