New leadership announced in the UK and Ireland region: Keepit introduces latest vice president
Fresh Take:
Dan Middleton, previously with Veeam, is now the new VP for Keepit in the UK and Ireland, with responsibilities extending to Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa. In his new role, Middleton will be leading the charge to expand Keepit's sales team, accelerate pipeline generation, and grow the local partner ecosystem[1].
Citing his over two-decade IT sales leadership experience and go-to-market expertise, Keepit's CRO, Craig Bumpus, welcomes Middleton, stating the reassurance his presence brings to the team[2]. Middleton's aim is to help organizations protect their data, a pressing concern given the increasing pressure on businesses to secure both their data and metadata generated by SaaS applications[1].
As Middleton takes the helm at Keepit's London headquarters, his focus lies in targeting industries grappling with complex data governance issues to help navigate regulations and align policies with UK and EU legislation[3]. Keepit's cloud backup and data management services deliver round-the-clock access to data while adhering to local sovereignty requirements, thanks to UK-based data centers and independence from hyperscalers[2].
With a strong team ready to help organizations manage their data effectively, Middleton sets ambitious growth objectives that will steer Keepit into strategic accounts and broaden the customer base[1]. Bumpus emphasizes the crucial role Middleton plays in driving growth in the region, especially following their recent alliance with Ingram Micro in the UK[3].
