Keepit Consolidates Global Channel Organization to Accelerate Partner-Led Growth
Keepit announced that it has strengthened its global channel organization, consolidating leadership and regional execution as it doubles down on a fully partner-led go-to-market strategy. The hyperscaler-independent SaaS data protection provider operates exclusively through partners, including value-added resellers, managed service providers and strategic alliances. The updated structure is designed to make engagement simpler and more consistent worldwide and aims to grow together with partners.
The global channel team is led by Jan Ursi, global vice president of channels, with regional leadership across Southern Europe and DACH, Northern Europe and the Americas. The model combines centralized strategy around enablement, messaging and partner economics with regional flexibility to address local market needs. Keepit plans to expand partner recruitment, certifications and joint marketing in 2026, with the aim of helping partners grow towards profitability with durable SaaS data protection practices.
Channel-first strategies have gained momentum as SaaS vendors look to scale efficiently while meeting regional compliance and service expectations. Keepit’s consolidated approach positions the channel as a scalable model focused on collaboration, growth, and a partner-centric approach.
