Cohesity provides an end-to-end data protection portfolio that simplifies and consolidates complex and siloed data infrastructure. Delivered either via the self-service or SaaS models, Cohesity’s flagship Helios platform offers services like backup and recovery, files and objects, disaster recovery, data security and governance, development and test, and analytics and insight.

At a higher level, Helios comprises a distributed platform to support multiple workflows, one UI to easily manage the global environment, and the ability to run applications and services.

Technologies that support the data management life cycle continuum are paramount to digital transformation

Data is at the heart of successful digital transformations and yet widely dispersed data keeps growing in terms of volume and complexity, making it hard to manage and even harder to protect. To fuel digital transformation initiatives, this data needs to be protected, consolidated, repurposed, secured, analysed, governed, and preserved throughout. Hence, staying current with the technologies used to support the data management life cycle continuum is paramount to digital transformation.

The company’s Next-Gen Data Management makes all these happen on a single platform which consolidates mass fragmented data and apps into a single hyperscale platform that dramatically improves business flexibility.

Cohesity sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, cloud, and data management, three of the biggest business issues of the day

Cohesity sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, cloud, and data management, three of the highest priority business issues of the day. It is poised to become a major powerhouse with industry analyst firms naming the company a leader and one of the fastest growing in its category. It has one of the best technologies in the category and helps protects data for several big brands in the Fortune 500.

With its single unified partner programme for all partner models including channel partners, distributors, service providers, alliances and GSIs, the company offers three levels of participation. These include Associate, Preferred, and Premier partnerships. To meet the needs of its broad range of partners, the company supports two go-to-market models in the Cohesity Partner Programme: Resale and Service Provider.

As Regional Director for MEA, Gregg’s number one priority is to ensure that Cohesity can acquire and comprehensively serve the largest government and enterprise businesses in the region. To achieve this, he spends a lot of time engaging with customers and prospects, leading and expanding the regional team, building and empowering Cohesity’s channel, and strengthening its alliance partnerships.

A prominent figure in the MEA IT sector, Gregg has 15 years of experience in the IT industry. Before joining Cohesity, he served in various management and leadership roles at leading technology companies in the Middle East, including Rackspace.

While Gregg agrees that overachieving targets, ensuring growth and driving other key business outcomes are all great, he finds motivating underachievers to become valuable members of his team most rewarding. He believes that when the underlying factors, personal or professional, are identified and addressed, the true potential of a team member can be unlocked which then proves immensely rewarding both personally and professionally.
