Keepit, a cloud data protection enterprise, has appointed Thomas McCrory as the Vice President of Sales for the Americas. McCrory's primary objective is to spearhead the company's growth across the region, emphasising the importance of safeguarding and restoring data as a crucial component of any artificial intelligence strategy.
The timing of McCrory's appointment aligns with a growing reliance on SaaS applications and the swift integration of artificial intelligence, which is increasing data volumes and operational risks. Organisations are increasingly focusing on how to effectively safeguard their invaluable asset—data.
Strategies for cloud data protection
"The rise of agentic AI is fundamentally changing how organisations think about their data – how they use it and how they protect it. What drew me to Keepit was its unique approach: a purpose-built, vendor-independent cloud with the data sovereignty and immutability that AI deployments require."
"Keepit already has strong footing in the US market, and my focus is on accelerating that - making sure the organisations investing in AI today understand Keepit's full offering and why clean, protected, recoverable data is the foundation everything else depends on," McCrory states.
