Reiner Klitzsch joined the Commvault Education Services EMEA team in January of 2006. Comprising half of the team at that time, his responsibilities included training, student registration, and classroom management. As the Education Services team grew, he began to expand his focus to include customer training delivery and education, along with support for partner trainers within EMEA.

Reiner enjoys combining personal interaction along with the highly technical nature of the training. He is completely at home, in front of an actively discussing class. His credo is: “Transfer knowledge with fun!”

After studying chemistry in college, Reiner received his Masters degree, and continued working at the University, eventually finding himself in the role of the chemistry department's IT Administrator. In 1998, he decided that it was time to change his area of focus to the IT business, and formally made the switch. Reiner is a Microsoft Certified Trainer, and — in Januart of 1999 — he began teaching at a Microsoft CTEC, where his main areas of focus were the Microsoft Operating System, database systems, and application development, both traditional and web-based.

Reiner married his wife Kerstin in 2000 and together they make their home in Dortmund, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. When asked how he spends his free time, he usually responds: “I have a garden, a house and a wife.” During any remaining free time that might arise, he enjoys reading, and reads almost anything, from fantasy literature to National Geographic. Reiner shares his biggest passion with his wife: Board and Card Games: non-money gaming with real people sitting around a table. This makes October a most important month on his calendar, with the Internationale Spieltage SPIEL — the world's largest trade fair for board games — held annually in nearby Essen.
