Data protection company Commvault has appointed Jill Macmurchy as its chief customer officer for APAC.
Based in Sydney, Macmurchy will drive customer success and innovation across APAC, helping organisations achieve their modernisation goals. She brings a wealth of leadership experience from senior leadership roles at Confluent and New Relic, and has deep technical expertise across solutions engineering and pre-sales.
“I’m excited to work alongside our customers to make resilience a competitive advantage,” said Macmurchy. “Our commitment goes beyond data protection – we’re empowering businesses across APAC to swiftly recover as well as thrive in the face of cyberthreats.”
Earlier this year, Craig Bastow, a Commvault veteran with over a decade of experience at the company, assumed the role of Area Vice President for Australia and New Zealand. With his comprehensive expertise in the ANZ technology sector, including IT trade and the public sector, Bastow has been instrumental in strengthening regional operations and customer engagement.
“It has been an incredible year leading Commvault’s efforts in Australia and New Zealand,” said Bastow. “Our region faces increasingly complex risks, and Commvault is committed to meeting these challenges head-on. With our team’s dedication and innovative solutions, we’re poised to set new standards in cyber resilience across the region.”
These appointments come at a critical time as organisations across the region navigate an increasingly complex market landscape characterised by rising cyber threats, stringent regulatory requirements, and a growing need for resilient, scalable data protection solutions.
“Commvault’s growth across APAC reflects our global reputation as a leader in cyber resilience,” said Commvault’s APAC VP Martin Creighan. “These new strategic roles advance our mission and reinforce our commitment to our customers. Our customers provide the insights that enable us to navigate the evolving data security and recovery landscape. And together, we’re ensuring that Commvault remains at the forefront of providing robust and scalable data security solutions.”
