Security outfit Veritas has appointed Barry Cashman as its Regional Vice President for the UK and Ireland.
Cashman wants to use Veritas’ heritage in data protection with his expertise in developing and driving high-growth sales teams, to bolster Veritas’ position. He is predicting strategic hiring and training, to drive further innovation and create a more powerful regional team
He joins Veritas from Micro Focus where he spent the last four years as VP and General Manager, UK&I. Prior to that, Barry served two years as Vice President, EMEA at VCE. However, the lion’s share of his career was spent in sales leadership roles at EMC where he was ultimately responsible for EMC’s $2 billion Enterprise business across EMEA.
Cashman said that the unprecedented changes to the economy brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit have given business leaders in the UK and Ireland enough to think about right now – the last thing they want to worry about is costly data breaches or a ransomware attacks.
