Cohesity has appointed Greg Statton as Chief Technology Officer for the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) region. A newly created role following the successful integration with Veritas’ enterprise data protection business, Statton will lead technology strategy and innovation initiatives across the region.

Statton, who has been with Cohesity for a decade, has served in a variety of sales engineering leadership and technical innovation roles within the business including VP AI Solutions and Senior Director Data & AI within the office of the CTO. Prior to Cohesity, Statton spent time working at CITRIX, Nutanix and as Google product development specialist. Throughout his career, Statton has been instrumental in advancing cloud, security, and AI technologies across diverse industries.

Commenting on his new role, Statton said in today’s fast-changing data protection environment, organizations across Asia Pacific and Japan need technology partners who understand their unique challenges and can deliver tailored, innovative solutions.

“I am excited to directly support the Cohesity APJ team at such a pivotal time and look forward to driving the next wave of growth and innovation in the region — particularly in Japan — alongside our talented teams and partners,” Statton said.

Reporting directly to Sunil Moolchandani, Chief Strategy Officer, Cohesity, Statton will support Cohesity’s mission to deliver next-generation data protection solutions in the region. Statton will also lead innovation and development of Cohesity’s AI solution – Gaia.

The AI-powered data security vendor recognizes the growing customer requirements for the efficiency and increased business resilience opportunities that advanced, fully integrated, AI and data security solutions can provide in Japan and across the region.

As such, the newly created role of Field CTO for APJ will enable more customer specific requirements in the APJ markets to be answered with specific R&D and solution innovation in the product roadmap, and support deeper engagement with enterprise and government customers across the region.

“Greg brings a rare combination of technical depth, regional insight, and strategic vision that will be critical as we scale our presence across Asia Pacific and Japan,” Moolchandani said.

“As we continue to invest in the region — especially in key markets like Japan — Greg’s leadership will play a pivotal role in helping customers adopt our AI-powered data security solutions and strengthen their cyber resilience” he added.
