I look forward to helping customers and partners succeed and working with this incredibly talented team.”

Sanjay Poonen, CEO and President, Cohesity added, “I’ve known Kit for many years, and respected his track record of understanding customer pain points and connecting them to technology innovations that drive strong business outcomes. He is results-oriented, an entrepreneurial change agent, and brings strong customer and partner relationships to Cohesity. Beyond that, Kit has the unique gift of being both strategically relevant to a customer, while also being deep in operational details - a valuable skill in leading a modern-day field operation. Kit will be a key member of my leadership team, and I’m delighted to have him on board.”
