record of impressive growth and we are excited with what is to come
under his leadership."

years of marketing experience to Acronis. Callahan also has
extensive software-as-a-service (SaaS) security domain experience,
serving in marketing roles at McAfee, HP, and Juniper Networks.
He's also bringing his global leadership skills to the company,
essential for this position as Acronis prides itself on being an
internationally connected company with offices and employees around
the globe, enabling the company to reach broader demographics and
extend its grasp on the cyber protection markets.
"I'm incredibly excited to be joining Acronis and working with the
team on their cyber protection solutions as well as their efforts
to raise awareness on the importance of protection. As the world
moves towards a digital ecosystem in the cloud, it's more important
than ever to make sure cybersecurity solutions are accessible and
transparent so that enterprise leaders can choose the best possible
solutions for their company," said Callahan.
