Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for hybrid cloud environments, has appointed Ha Hoang as its new global chief information officer (CIO), with responsibilities extending across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

Her appointment follows Commvault’s recent appointment of Darren Thomson as field chief technology officer for the EMEA and India regions in January.

“Commvault is leading the way in cloud-first cyber resilience, delivering innovations that help customers and partners remain resilient in an era of escalating cyber threats and attacks,” said Ha. “I look forward to working internally to advance cloud, security and AI initiatives and operations, while also engaging with customers and partners to showcase, firsthand, how they can advance resilience via Commvault technologies.”

Ha has more than 25 years of experience in leading enterprise technology transformations for Fortune 500 companies. She brings a wealth of expertise in cloud strategy, SaaS optimisation, and global infrastructure operations.

As CIO, Ha will focus on advancing next-generation cloud, security and AI technology initiatives and operations. She will also work closely with Commvault’s engineering and product teams to drive innovation. Additionally, she will engage directly with customers, showcasing how Commvault’s technology can drive new levels of resilience and provide exceptional business value.

Prior to joining Commvault, Hoang was group vice president of cloud engineering and infrastructure at UKG. She also held leadership roles at McKinsey & Company and Wipro, with a strong focus on driving technology strategies that delivered clear business results.

“Ha’s proven track record of building and deploying innovative cloud solutions and cutting-edge technologies that can advance critical business objectives and operations makes her a perfect fit for Commvault,” noted Danielle Sheer, chief trust officer at Commvault.
