Bob Hammer served as Commvault’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer for more than 20 years. Under his leadership, he transformed a small data protection company into an industry-leading powerhouse in all things data. In his words, “The core idea of the company never changed: the value is in the data.” Leading with philosophy of doing the right things for the company, its employees, customers, partners and shareholders, Bob achieved milestones many tech companies merely aspire to: zero debt, cash reserves and great technology and people. Through his intuition-based business style, Bob believes in taking bold risks first, then making adjustments to drive success.
