Merrill, an 18-year Commvault veteran, will use his operations, finance, and customer and partner expertise to accelerate adoption of the Commvault Cloud platform, expand the company\u2019s routes to market, and scale its high-growth SaaS engine. This will play a key role in helping Commvault rapidly expand its leadership in cyber resilience while driving even greater value for customers and partners.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Gary threw his hat in the ring for the CCO role, we immediately knew this was the right move at the right time. Gary is relentlessly focused on customers, partners, and operational excellence,\u201d said Sanjay Mirchandani, President and CEO, Commvault. \u201cWe\u2019re also delighted to have Jen joining our leadership team. She has a proven track record of scaling and leading finance and operations teams at high growth companies and is a perfect fit for Commvault.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe growth that Commvault has seen over the last two years is impressive. During that time, I\u2019ve worked closely with our sales and partner leadership globally to instill close strategic alignment,\u201d said Merrill. \u201cI\u2019m excited to take those relationships to the next level as CCO, as we focus on reaching $1 billion in ARR by FY\u201926. I also look forward to partnering with \u200b\u200bJen as we transition into our new roles.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to join Commvault at such a pivotal time,\u201d said DiRico. \u201cCommvault\u2019s highly successful transition to a subscription and SaaS model is world-class. I look forward to expediting Commvault\u2019s profitable growth as the company leads the charge in cyber resilience. I\u2019m also excited to work closely with employees around the globe, including the company\u2019s talented leadership team.\u201d \u200b\u200b <\/p>\n\n\n\n
