Smith, Chairman of the Nominations and Governance Committee of the Commvault Board. "Nick's experience previously leading Cisco's Americas and service provider businesses add helpful perspectives to our Board, and are relevant to Commvault's move to a partner-led business strategy."

"On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Joe Eazor for his Board service these last few years during a pivotal period for our company," said N. Robert Hammer, Commvault's Chairman, President and CEO. "Joe has provided strong counsel, especially during the initial and critical phase of the Commvault Advance transformation.
