Flowmon Networks, a vendor of advanced network monitoring and security solutions, has appointed Frank Dupker as its Vice President of EMEA Sales. Frank brings long-time experience in the industry and is tasked with driving growth in the region. His first steps will be to strengthen operations in DACH to win focused business partners and acquire a top sales team there.
With this move, Flowmon adds additional experience to its management team. “Having Frank on board as the head of sales is a great move to bolster our position in EMEA. He proved to be a true leader when establishing our operations in Benelux. I’m convinced that his extensive skillset and commitment to customers will make our sales channel even stronger,” said Jiri Tobola, Co-founder and VP of Sales & Alliances of Flowmon Networks.
Frank is a team leader with excellent communication skills and technology insight. Prior to joining Flowmon in 2012 as a Country Manager for Benelux, he held a number of executive sales positions, most recently for Xantaro and TechAccess. As EMEA sales leader, he oversees Flowmon’s entire operations in the region. Since Flowmon Networks is a 100 per cent channel company, he is primarily responsible for broadening the partner base and enhancing relationships with teams of Flowmon’s technology partners, such as F5, Gigamon and IBM.
“We are focused on making our partners sure their investments in the Flowmon solution bring them excellent value. There is a huge demand for our anti-DDoS solutions, protection against advanced threats and application performance monitoring. All of this opens up a lot of new opportunities and we are helping our partners to gain them,” said Dupker.
The management of today’s IT infrastructure is inconceivable without effective network monitoring and taking account of security. Flowmon combines advanced flow-based technology with top-notch behaviour security analytics to meet these challenges. “The still growing complexity of the IT environment on the one hand and the rise of cyber-threats bypassing traditional blocking and prevention systems on the other hand have made effective network monitoring crucial for any company. Flowmon is a next generation tool helping customers face these challenges by providing superb monitoring, detection and analytical features,” added Dupker.
