Veeam Software has appointed Danny Allan as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Senior Vice President (SVP) of Product Strategy.
Allan, promoted from his previous role as Vice President (VP) of Product Strategy, will lead Veeam’s global product strategy group and initiatives, and spearhead the company’s technology vision as the #1 provider for Backup solutions that deliver Cloud Data Management.
With more than 20 years of technology experience, Allan is passionate about solving customer problems and software innovation. In his previous role as VP of Product Strategy, Allan was responsible for envisioning and communicating the Veeam vision for Cloud Data Management, collaborating with enterprise customers and large service providers to assess and ensure long-term industry success.

Earlier in his career, Allan was Director of Security Research at IBM and a member of the Security Architecture Board, where he co-authored the IBM Secure Engineering Framework. He holds multiple software patents in the cloud and security field.
“Simplicity, flexibility and reliability are key to organizations across the globe, and Veeam’s leadership position in this area is clear. Our portfolio allows customers to protect and manage their data no matter where it resides — whether in virtual, physical or cloud environments — but I am excited at what’s yet to come, and I know that 2020 will bring a vast array of new innovations that ensure Veeam continues to cement its market dominance,” said Danny Allan.
