Commvault names Smith as partner lead for North Europe

Commvault has appointed Dale Smith as Senior Director of Channel Sales for North Europe, adding another senior hire to its expanding regional leadership team. Smith’s arrival follows the recent appointments of Martin Gittins as Area Vice President and Mark Molyneux as Field CTO.

Smith will oversee channel strategy and partner ecosystem development across the UK, Ireland, Benelux and the Nordics. His remit includes strengthening alliances and supporting partners as they address growing customer demand for cyber‑resilience capabilities.

He joins Commvault after more than a decade in senior channel roles. At Juniper Networks, Smith served as UK&I Channel Director before becoming Senior Channel Director for EMEA in 2022. His earlier career includes leadership positions at Exclusive Networks and Arrow ECS.

Speaking about his appointment, Smith said he aims to support partners as they help organisations maintain business continuity amid rising cyber threats. Jamie Farrelly, EMEA VP Channel Sales at Commvault, said Smith’s experience comes at a significant moment for the company, following the recent launch of its Commvault Cloud Unity platform.

The platform was unveiled in November at SHIFT, Commvault’s annual end‑user conference in New York. The company will continue its event series with the SHIFT Roadshow in London on 25 February at The Pelligon, Canary Wharf, where Smith is scheduled to appear alongside regional and global executives.
