Cathy Conroy AsiaPac Head of Alliances, Cohesity

Cohesity, Inc. announced the appointed of Cathy Conroy as head of alliances for AsiaPac.

In this role, Conroy will facilitate rapid organisational growth through the ongoing recruitment and management of an ever-increasing cohort of cloud, storage, and software partners.

Based in Brisbane, Australia, she joins with more than 20 years of sales, alliance, and partner management experience. Working in conjunction with regional alliance partners, she will support customers who are focused on deploying backup and data management solutions.

She will also work with alliance partners in helping customers solve mass data fragmentation, where data sits in infrastructure silos on-premises and in the cloud that don’t integrate and are difficult to manage.

She was previously senior director of WW alliances at Commvault, where she managed the go-to-market strategy with Cisco. During this time, she was also named to the US CRN 2019 Women of the Channel Awards.

Earlier, she worked at Nimble Storage for 5 years in several key roles, including senior director, WW sales, and also as a director of alliances for AsiaPac and Japan. During this time, she was instrumental in accelerating relationships with AsiaPac alliance partners. She was subsequently promoted to a global role based in North Carolina in which she managed the company’s WW OEM channels. She also previously worked at NetApp Australia in several business development and enterprise account management positions as well as at Sun Microsystems as an account executive.

“Cathy is an experienced and trusted leader in alliance and sales management who will support our strategy in working with alliance partners to provide enterprises with an easy-to-use, web-scale platform that empowers them to remove data silos and directly address the challenges of mass data fragmentation,” said William Ho, VP sales, AsiaPac. “She will help support the robust growth we see as enterprises aim to reduce complexity, drive innovation, and extract maximum value from their data.”

“Cohesity is committed to extending our relationships with exceptional alliance partners to ensure customer success,” said Conroy. “We look forward to working with partners to fulfil key market objectives including driving new business, establishing a competitive advantage, and creating demonstrable business value through our portfolio of best-in-class, market-leading software solutions. We have an exceptional base of partners in the region recognised for their innovation and performance and I am excited to build on our mutual success and market momentum as we approach 2020 and beyond.“
