It gives me great pleasure to see him take on this new challenge to further support customers,” said Peter Bauer, chief executive officer at Mimecast. “I am confident that he will bring the skills that helped drive customer success and growth in MEA to the rest of the region, particularly in our growing markets like Central Europe, and he will continue to motivate employees to do their best work, best teamwork and greatest learning.”
