Databricks names Jeremy Cooper VP of marketing for APJ push

SINGAPORE: Databricks has strengthened its Asia Pacific and Japan leadership with the appointment of Jeremy Cooper as vice president of marketing, signalling a fresh marketing charge as demand for data and AI surges across the region.

A seasoned marketing leader with over two decades in global technology roles, Cooper joins Databricks after leading marketing for Amazon Web Services across Asia Pacific and Japan. At AWS, he steered regional go to market strategy and helped fuel growth across enterprise, public sector, partners and startups.

His CV reads like a tour of Silicon Valley’s greatest hits. Before AWS, Cooper held senior marketing roles at Salesforce, Google and LinkedIn, where he played a key role in shaping category defining brands and scaling global growth engines.

Based in Australia, Cooper will now oversee Databricks’ marketing strategy and execution across APJ, with a focus on expanding brand presence, building pipeline and accelerating revenue growth.

Databricks vice president of global demand generation and field marketing Joseph Puthussery, said the timing could not be better. “Jeremy brings deep cloud expertise, strong brand instincts and a rare balance of global and regional experience. That combination will be critical as organisations across APJ look to unify and scale their data and AI.”

Cooper, for his part, sees Databricks as the natural next chapter. “AI is the biggest technology shift since the rise of the cloud, and Databricks sits right at the centre of it,” he said. “The opportunity to help organisations turn data into intelligence and intelligence into action is hugely compelling. I’m excited to work with our teams, customers and partners across APJ to make that happen.”

With a heavyweight marketer at the helm, Databricks is clearly setting the pace for its next phase of growth in one of its most important regions.
