Veritas names ex-BMC head as channels chief

Veritas Technologies has appointed Oliver Norman as VP of channels and alliances for the EMEAI region.

He will report to Mike Walkey, senior vice president, global channels and alliances, and will be part of the Veritas international leadership team.

He will “make it his priority to build knowledge, capabilities, and communication that bring value to partners as more of their customers’ businesses and operations shift to complex multi-cloud environments”, said the data protection and management vendor.

Most recently, Norman served as area vice president at BMC Software, where he headed up the channel sales function for EMEA. Prior to this, he worked at Morse, the consulting, IT services and technology company.

Walkey said: “This hire reflects our continued commitment to the channel. Oliver’s knowledge and ability to take a holistic view of our channel business across the EMEAI region will bring great value to our company and our customers.

“We look forward to him continuing the growth acceleration across our partner ecosystem and driving innovation within our business model. He will also play an integral role in continuing to build and grow a world class channel go-to-market strategy and partner programme for our business.”

Norman added: “I am looking forward to working with our channel partners, advancing Veritas’ position as the vendor partner of choice in cloud resiliency and multi-cloud data management.”
