"Cohesity's approach of managing and protecting data in on-premises, hybrid, and multicloud environments delivers real impacts for organisations. As organisations adopt and implement new technologies, such as AI and cloud applications, they generate more data and with this data comes a range of management, security, protection and recovery challenges. It is these challenges that I look forward to helping solve with, and for, our customers throughout the APJ region."
