Scality, a leader in software solutions for distributed file and object storage, today announced significant expansion in EMEA and APAC with the appointment of six senior executives.

Building on a record-breaking Q4 and 30% YoY annual growth in 2020, Scality is bolstering its dedicated sales and support teams for leading companies globally with a slate of executive hires, including:
Brett Lobwein, regional sales manager for Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), who joins Scality following five years in senior manager positions at HPE and Commvault
Oleg Kokotovic, senior sales engineer for ANZ, who brings with him 20 years of solutions architect and technical pre-sales experience at companies including Fujitsu, HPE, IBM and NetApp

Underscoring the company's growth and position in the European market, Scality was recently included in the French government's French Tech 120, an ecosystem of the most promising French startups, for the second consecutive year. The company also was classified as excellent' in the Leaders League directory for IT leaders for expertise in digital transformation and data storage solutions.
Eric Leblanc, vice president, EMEA and APAC, Scality, said To meet the growing demand for large-scale hybrid and multicloud solutions to support modern digital initiatives, we're investing in people who will support our customers, strengthen channel partnerships and generate further success in these regions.
