Hyperconverged storage firm Cohesity has pulled in Palo Alto's channel builder Todd Palmer. As the new VP worldwide channels he will expand Cohesity's channel presence and advance its Revolution Partner Program for resellers.
Palmer will be responsible for growing the company's footprint in the Americas, EMEA and APAC, bringing Cohesity's secondary storage platform to more mid-sized and large enterprise customers.
He joins from Palo Alto Networks, where he served as vice president of channel sales in the Americas, and will report directly to Cohesity's recently announced vice president of worldwide sales, Mark Parrinello.
"Cohesity has experienced incredible growth in North America and Europe, and we knew it would be important to bring someone with Todd's experience and talent to continue to build out our channel sales programme," Parrinello said.
"All of our business is ultimately executed through the channel, and Todd's expertise at building and promoting leveraged selling models with partners will be invaluable as we continue to bring on bigger customers from across the globe."
Prior to Palo Alto Palmer worked at NetApp, doubling revenues over his five-year tenure by expanding direct market resellers and national reseller relationships.
