Keepit appoints Fahad Qureshi as VP of Sales for Americas

Keepit has announced the appointment of Fahad Qureshi as the Vice President of Sales for the Americas and ANZ regions.

Qureshi, who will focus on expanding Keepit's presence throughout these crucial regions, brings considerable sales expertise and strategic insight to his new role.

Previously, he was the Head of Sales at Lumafield, and prior to that, he contributed nearly eight years at Qumulo, where he gained significant experience in growing enterprise presence in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Qureshi also held key roles at Maginatics and GroupLogic, bringing over 15 years of industry experience to Keepit.

His appointment underscores Keepit's dedication to enhancing its footprint in the Americas and ANZ, areas identified as strategically significant for the company. He aims to leverage his experience to establish these regions as prominent markets for Keepit's cloud-native data protection solutions.

Fahad Qureshi said, "Keepit's product is technologically superior and an important reason why I'm thrilled to join the team. Another is the company's position: Unlike the typical approach of building a US presence before expanding to Europe and the rest of the world, Keepit already has a proven model in other markets. That gives us a strong foundation to build on in the US—it's a goldmine of opportunity. I look forward to showing organisations across the US, Canada, Latin America and ANZ how they can sleep easier at night, knowing their data is safe with Keepit."

Qureshi has ambitious targets, including tripling Keepit's US-based ARR, expanding the company's partner network, and establishing Keepit as a primary choice for data protection among enterprises in the Americas. He added, "My goal is to make the US the leading region in the company. We'll be purposeful about building relationships with the right partners, and I encourage my team to always be front-of-mind for our partners: Never have coffee alone, never have lunch alone. We're going to plant the Keepit flag across the region."

Commenting on the new appointment, Craig Bumpus, Chief Revenue Officer of Keepit, remarked, "It's a great pleasure to welcome Fahad to the team. He has the vision, energy, and management style we need to accelerate the most important region in the company. I'm confident he'll help us all reach the next level and maximise our potential."
