Veeam CTO On Why Veeam Wanted To Be Acquired And What Comes Next
Joseph F. Kovar
Veeam's next growth wave will come in the U.S. where it has a fourth-place market share, and that requires Veeam to move its operations, leadership, board of directors, and focus out of Europe and to the U.S., Danny Allan told CRN in an exclusive meeting.
Is Veeam growing in terms of personnel to meet the increased focus in the U.S. market?
Yes, without question. We currently have 1,200 employees in the U.S., and we plan to both expand and strengthen that employee base. It is true we're a global company. We have 4,200 employees globally. But we'll continue the accelerated growth in the U.S. market.
So will development in Europe continue as it has been, or will that change?
The growth in development has primarily been in the Czech Republic. Product Management and R&D support is worldwide. It's important to note we have 24x7 support that spans the world. There's support in Bucharest, there's support in Atlanta, there's support in Sydney, Australia. So support is very much global, and of course, sales are global as well.
