Johnson said in a statement published Tuesday that he will work with the Cohesity team to advance the federal adoption of the company™s web-scale platform for secondary data workloads.

œDavis has a proven record of supporting federal CIOs and executives with complex missions and he has a unique understanding of how emerging technologies can help drive IT modernization and digital transformation, said Steve Grewal, chief technology officer for federal and eastern U.S. at Cohesity.
