Senior Account Executive | Cohesity | Empowering Higher Education with Modern Data Security

As a Senior Account Executive at Cohesity, I help colleges, universities, and academic institutions across Tennessee modernize their data protection and recoery strategies. With over 20 years of sales experience, I understand the unique challenges higher education faces in securing sensitive data, ensuring compliance, and enabling innovation.

At Cohesity, I collaborate with institutions to:

Strengthen cyber resilience with ransomware-proof backup and recovery

Reduce total cost of ownership through platform consolidation

Ensure compliance with FERPA, HIPAA, and other education-specific regulations

Unlock insights from backup data using AI-powered tools like GAIA for eDiscovery and analytics

I’m passionate about helping mission-driven institutions safeguard student and research data, streamline operations, and support digital transformation across campus environments.
