Lewis’ confidence in Rubrik was shaped by a working partnership. As an early adopter in 2014, he faced a critical challenge while transitioning from Avamar. In response, Rubrik’s engineering team didn’t just offer support - they visited his office to write the necessary NDMP code alongside him. That practical, face-to-face problem solving established the baseline for his long-term trust in the platform.

Lewis brings extensive expertise in data protection and a focus on security, solidified by his security and certification. Having been with the community for nearly ten years, he applies his extensive background in virtualization and data protection to solve complex infrastructure challenges, consistently helping to evolve the ecosystem.

Lewis prioritizes high-impact engagement, focusing his energy on strategic collaboration through Customer Advisory Boards and the Guardians forum. He leverages these platforms to provide direct, unfiltered feedback to product teams, ensuring that future updates and features address the actual realities of daily IT operations.
