Druva’s VP of Generative AI, David Gildea, is using cloud-native thinking and GenAI to strip complexity out of data protection – and put enterprise-grade security within everyone’s reach.
David Gildea’s career has been shaped by a simple, recurring question from customers: Can I just get this data in Excel? As a consultant, he saw first-hand how organizations struggled to access, interpret, and secure their own information. The gap wasn’t just technical; it was human. Spotting patterns across massive datasets was beyond human capacity, and that realization drew Gildea towards artificial intelligence (AI) as a way to make data both usable and secure at scale.
