"EVault shows strong competitive advantages on both the technology and business model sides. EVault on-premise software and cloud-connected backup and recovery services meet all the needs of companies wishing to securely recover critical systems and data after a disaster. Many companies still haven´t integrated such strategies because they lack a reliable partner with a team of data recovery experts. This is where EVault and its strong partner ecosystem can help them," said Morel.

Morel has more than 20 years of management experience. He has been with EVault since 2010 as the Director of Alliances for EMEA. Prior to joining EVault, he worked at Overlap Group, a French high-end systems integrator and at Hubwoo, a SaaS company dedicated to supplier relationship management e-business solutions. He previously held management positions in companies such as StorageTek and Computer Associates. Morel holds a Master´s and a Doctorate degree in Economics.

Johan Pellicaan, EVault Managing Director for EMEA, said "I am pleased to entrust the challenge of managing EVault´s aggressive growth in EMEA to François. In his role as Alliances Director, he proved to be especially efficient, convincing major partners of the benefits they would get working with EVault. As the new Director of EMEA Sales, his background is the right fit for the type of involvement we need in this market."
