Commvault, a global leader in cyber resilience and data protection for hybrid cloud organisations, has further solidified its presence in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region with strategic leadership appointments.
Jill Macmurchy joins as Chief Customer Officer for APAC, while earlier this year, Craig Bastow stepped into the role of Area Vice President for Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). These appointments underline Commvault’s commitment to delivering resilient and tailored solutions that address evolving customer needs in a challenging digital landscape.
Driving Innovation Across APAC
Based in ANZ, Jill Macmurchy will spearhead customer success and innovation across the APAC region. With a stellar career spanning leadership roles at Confluent and New Relic, Macmurchy brings deep technical expertise in solutions engineering and pre-sales. Her appointment aims to empower businesses to modernise and thrive despite rising cyber threats.
“I’m excited to work alongside our customers to make resilience a competitive advantage,” Macmurchy said. “Our commitment goes beyond data protection—we’re enabling organisations across APAC to swiftly recover and succeed in an ever-changing threat landscape.”
Strengthening Regional Excellence in ANZ
Craig Bastow, a Commvault veteran with over a decade of experience at the company, stepped into his role as Area Vice President for ANZ earlier this year. Known for his extensive expertise in the ANZ technology sector, including the IT trade and public sectors, Bastow has played a pivotal role in enhancing regional operations and customer engagement.
“It has been an incredible year leading Commvault’s efforts in ANZ,” Bastow shared. “Our region faces increasingly complex risks, and Commvault is committed to tackling these challenges head-on. With our innovative solutions and dedicated team, we’re raising the bar for cyber resilience across ANZ.”
Addressing a Critical Market Need
The timing of these appointments is critical as organizations across APAC navigate an increasingly complex market landscape. Rising cyber threats, stringent regulatory requirements, and the demand for scalable data protection solutions underscore the importance of Commvault’s leadership in the region.
Martin Creighan, Vice President of Asia Pacific at Commvault, emphasised the strategic importance of these appointments. “Commvault’s growth across APAC reflects our global reputation as a leader in cyber resilience. These new roles strengthen our mission to partner with customers and navigate the evolving data security landscape. Together, we’re ensuring Commvault remains at the forefront of providing robust and scalable data security solutions.”
As the cyber threat landscape intensifies, Commvault’s enhanced leadership team is poised to drive innovation and ensure that businesses across APAC and ANZ are well-equipped to face the challenges ahead.
