SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — July 20, 2026: — Veeam® Software, the Data and AI Trust Company, today announced the appointment of Philip Goldie as Vice President for Australia and New Zealand.
Goldie brings more than 20 years of technology leadership experience spanning Microsoft, Okta and SafetyCulture.
His appointment comes as Australian organisations accelerate AI adoption. New Veeam research found 88 per cent of Australian organisations are already using or piloting AI agents, while 53 per cent of executives cite intellectual property leakage as their top Shadow AI risk.
“Organisations across Australia and New Zealand are moving fast with AI, but speed alone will not build trust,” said Beni Sia, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific and Japan at Veeam. “The real test is whether their data is secure, governed, recoverable and trusted enough to support AI at scale. That is where Veeam leads. We have built the number one data resilience position in ANZ, and Philip is the right leader to help customers and partners turn that foundation into measurable business outcomes.”
Philip joins Veeam from SafetyCulture, the Australian-founded workplace operations platform, where he led global teams across sales, pre-sales, customer success, partnerships and support. Previously, he served as Vice President and Country Manager for Okta in Australia and New Zealand, leading customer and partner success across the region. He spent 12 years at Microsoft in senior sales and partner roles across Australia and New Zealand and earlier held regional marketing roles at Nortel across Asia.
“Australia and New Zealand are among the most dynamic technology markets in the world. Customers are looking for trusted partners who can help them protect critical data, recover quickly when incidents occur and adopt AI with confidence. I'm excited to work with our customers, partners and team to build on Veeam's strong momentum across the region,” said Philip Goldie, Vice President for Australia and New Zealand at Veeam.
Philip is a board member of the Children's Medical Research Institute, where he chairs the Digital Strategy Committee. He holds an executive MBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Register for VeeamON Sydney on July 30, 2026, where regional leaders and customers will come together to explore how to build data resilience and enable trusted, secure AI at scale. For more information on Veeam, visit https://www.veeam.com/veeamon/sydney
