Cohesity recognise the growing customer requirements for the efficiency and increased business resilience opportunities that advanced, fully integrated, AI and data security solutions can provide in Japan and across the region. The newly created role of Field CTO for APJ, will enable more customer specific requirements in the APJ markets to be answered with specific R&D and solution innovation in the product roadmap, and support deeper engagement with enterprise and government customers across the region.

Statton’s new role extends his 10-year career within Cohesity, having served in a variety of sales engineering leadership and technical innovation roles within the business including VP AI Solutions and Senior Director Data & AI within the office of the CTO. Prior to Cohesity, Statton spent time working at CITRIX, Nutanix and as Google product development specialist. Throughout his career, Statton has been instrumental in advancing cloud, security, and AI technologies across diverse industries.
“In today’s fast-changing data protection environment, organisations across Asia Pacific and Japan need technology partners who understand their unique challenges and can deliver tailored, innovative solutions,” said Greg Statton, CTO, Asia Pacific and Japan, Cohesity. “I am excited to directly support the Cohesity APJ team at such a pivotal time and look forward to driving the next wave of growth and innovation in the region — particularly in Japan — alongside our talented teams and partners.”
