Datadobi has announced the appointment of Matthias Nijs as its new Vice President of EMEA Sales. A key member of the Datadobi EMEA team for the last seven years, Nijs most recently served as a territory manager. He will now lead the regional sales team to continue to expand Datadobi across EMEA, enhance the company’s partner program, and work closely with customers to optimize their unstructured data storage environments.

Nijs will report to Chief Revenue Officer Michael Jack.

Nijs’ appointment to this newly-created role is the latest stage in the expansion of Datadobi in the EMEA region, with three new team members recently added in the DACH region, the Nordics, and the UK. Datadobi is also currently recruiting in France and plans to continue the growth of the wider team in the future.

Before joining Datadobi in 2014, Nijs worked as Head of Enterprise Test Management at BNP Paribas Investment Partners, and he has also held roles with Capgemini, ACTiS, and EMC. He holds an MBA from Vlerick Leuven-Gent Management School.
