Enterprise search and AI company Elastic said it has appointed Jeremy Pell as area vice president for Australia and New Zealand to accelerate regional growth and customer adoption.
Pell joins from Adobe Experience Cloud where he led sales strategy and market expansion across major industry sectors including financial services, retail and government.
Prior to Adobe, Pell served as vice president of the enterprise division at TubeMogul before its acquisition by Adobe. He also held the role of sales director at mobile advertising network InMobi.
"Businesses are facing a challenging time with rampant data growth and an accelerating enterprise AI market," Pell said.
"By combining the precision of search and the intelligence of AI, Elastic is uniquely positioned to help customers gain more insights from their proprietary structured and unstructured data to bolster operational resilience, mitigate security risk and build generative AI applications faster," Pell added.
Matthew Day, Elastic's general manager of international said Pell's experience in building and leading high-performance sales teams and success in driving market expansion and customer success is the perfect addition to the company's team as it continues to see customers displacing incumbent legacy products and migrating onto its Search AI platform for security and observability and building search GenAI applications.
The appointment aims to strengthen Elastic's presence in the ANZ region as organisations seek to leverage AI capabilities for enhanced data insights and security.
Tech Data is the distributor for Elastic in ANZ currently.
