Veeam Software, Inc. has appointed Shiva Pillay to lead the AsiaPac and Japan (APJ) region as senior VP.
He has been promoted from his position as VP sales and field operations, APJ.
Reporting to Bill Largent, chairman and CEO, he will spearhead the company’s growth strategy in the region.
The software company recently announced its 4Q20 global results, posting another quarter of double-digit growth with an annual recurring revenue of 22% Y/Y and 24%% Y/Y increase in APJ.
Its Cloud Data Management Platform was displayed in the recent IDC Semi-Annual Software Tracker for Data Replication & Protection 1H20 which showed that it has delivered the fastest revenue growth Y/Y in 1H20, among the top 5 vendors, the combined revenues of non-top 4 vendors and overall market average.
“Shiva’s exceptional skill set and aptitude for fostering and maintaining meaningful relationships will no doubt contribute to Veeam cementing its position as a key market player in 2021 and beyond,” commented Largent. “His determination to drive impactful change within the industry and his experience in demonstrating this so far within the company makes Shiva the perfect candidate for this role. Shiva is a born leader, and I have every confidence he will lead our APJ team to great success this year.”
Formerly in roles at The SCE Group, Prevalent Inc. and SevOne, Pillay brings to the role experience across sales, consulting, and revenue gen. He joined Veeam in mid-2018 as VP sales and field operations of APJ, responsible for leading all inside sales, cloud service providers, channels, alliances, pre-sales and professional services functions across the region.
On his appointment, he said: “Our APJ business is growing at an exceptional rate, which would not be possible without the continued support of our customers and partner ecosystem. We have a world-class team from senior leadership through to every Veeam employee in the region, with a sole focus on helping our customers accelerate their Cloud Data Management journey. In 2021, we are well positioned to further extend our growth position across the region. I am excited to further invest in our partner and alliances ecosystem and work with the Veeam team to bring our new innovative solutions to market in a way our customers want to consume them.”
