Technology leader from global security company Palo Alto Networks to help drive Acronis Cyber Protection strategy across the enterprise market
Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, has appointed René Bonvanie as Chairman of the Board. A member of the Acronis Board of Directors since 2014, Mr. Bonvanie is the Executive Vice President of Strategic Accounts at Palo Alto Networks. As Chairman of the Board at Acronis, he will work with the Acronis CEO and management team on the company's enterprise strategy and execution.
René Bonvanie has more than 35 years of executive management and marketing experience in enterprise technology and had previously led marketing at Palo Alto Networks since 2009. He also serves on the boards of Collibra, Guardsquare, and Nexthink, and prior to Palo Alto Networks, held executive marketing roles at Business Objects, VERITAS, and Oracle.
Acronis leads the world in cyber protection, solving safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security (SAPAS) challenges with innovative backup, security, disaster recovery, and enterprise file sync and share solutions that run in hybrid cloud environments: on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. Enhanced by AI technologies and blockchain-based data authentication, Acronis protects all data, applications, and systems in all environments, giving users full control over their workloads.
In 2019 Acronis received a $147 million investment round led by Goldman Sachs. This valued the company at well over one billion dollars and enables Acronis to expand its engineering team in Singapore, Bulgaria, and Arizona, build additional data centers, and continue its growth, including through acquisitions.
René Bonvanie's expertise will help Acronis continue building its cyber protection strategy across the enterprise sector and ensure the Swiss-Singaporean company meets ambitious strategic goals that will help all customers get #CyberFit.
"The concept of Cyber Protection developed by Acronis and validated by technology analysts is a key architectural element to ensure organizations are fully protected in the modern digital world.
