Veeam Taps Former RingCentral President Anand Eswaran as CEO, Eyes IPO
…trajectory. “It’s an opportunity to be the CEO to further accelerate growth of a company with a very strong foundation and a much more global presence,” Eswaran said, adding: “it’s an opportunity, hopefully, to take a company public.”
Opportunity for Veeam
Asked about his understanding of Veeam’s business, which is markedly different from that of RingCentral, Eswaran noted that he had extensive exposure to data protection technology at HPE and Microsoft. Eswaran said he sees untapped potential for Veeam’s data protection platform.
“At some point, looking at data protection and looking at data insights is a key part of the job,” he said.
Eswaran added that Veeam can expand its total addressable market (TAM) by tapping the adjacent markets of its alliance partners. Among them are Microsoft, VMware, HPE, Cisco, AWS and Google Cloud.
“While we talk about modern data protection today, and we talk about backup, recovery, multi public clouds, and so on, I think that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “This category could be evolved and shaped itself to many adjacencies.”
