SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2020 – Vectra®, the leader in network threat detection and response (NDR), today announced the appointment of Jerome Jullien as Vice President of International Partner Sales to its leadership team. With more than 25 years’ experience in Enterprise Technology, including managing Channels, System Integrator and Service Provider (SI/SP) and Alliances, Jerome brings a strong track record of building successful business models for the Channel and will play a key role in managing and driving sales via the Vectra partner ecosystem.

Prior to joining Vectra, Jerome was Vice President Global Channels & Alliances at Nokia, a position held for five years, where he was a member of the Global Enterprise Management Team and was responsible for developing the business’s Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy for industry partners, distributors, Alliances, SPAAP and VARs, and leading the global partner program and partner sales. Based in France, Jerome has also held EMEA-based management roles at Riverbed, EMC and Sybase.

In his new role, Jerome will be responsible for managing Vectra’s international indirect sales business across key regions. Jerome is tasked with bolstering the Vectra Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) offering and forging strong relationships with its strategic channel partners including VARs, distributors, system integrators and service providers to enable them to drive sales, while Vectra provides support by focussing on customer success.

As a business that sells completely through the channel, this presents an exciting opportunity for Vectra and our partners as we provide a differentiated offering that helps enterprises stay one step ahead of their adversaries,” said Jerome Jullien.

He continued: “A critical component of our business is having a network of engaged and incentivised partners to add strength to our sales force. I’m looking forward to working alongside our international partners and becoming immersed in the challenges and opportunities facing enterprises both today, and in the future, as we work together to make organisations more secure.”
