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. Businesses, service providers, and governments around the
world are struggling to secure their massive volumes of data and
feeling the strain on their systems and employees," said René
Bonvanie. "Acronis offers industry-leading products that provide
fully scalable, easy, efficient, and secure cyber protection to
meet these needs."
"The appointment of René represents another step forward for
Acronis in our cyber protection strategy. In his role as Chairman
of the Board, René will work closely with the executive team to
drive the development of innovative cyber protection solutions for
the enterprise sector," said Serg Bell, Acronis Founder and CEO.
"René's experience with innovations at scale will help us to
continue delivering easy, efficient, and secure cyber protection to
customers of any size."
