Cohesity, a next-gen data management company, has announced the appointment of James Worrall as head of EMEA channels. Worrall has extensive experience in building sales channels, having been in leadership roles for networking, enterprise IT and technology start-ups over the last 20 years.
In his role at Cohesity, Worrall will report into the Cohesity global partner organisation, led by Mike Houghton. Worrall has responsibility for scaling the company’s EMEA partner ecosystem while advancing the company’s go-to-market strategy in the region.
Before joining Cohesity, Worrall was VP of EMEA channel at F5 Networks and EMEA channel sales lead at Juniper Networks.
“Cohesity is already helping numerous organisations throughout EMEA transform how they back up, protect, secure and derive value from data through next-gen data management, but I believe we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible and the opportunity for partners is immense,” said Worrall. “I am optimistic about what Cohesity can do working hand-in-hand with exceptional partners throughout the region.”
“James is full of energy and ideas and has been instrumental in building world class channel programmes for other IT vendors,” said Houghton. “As enterprises throughout the EMEA region are looking to deploy next-gen data management technologies, James will play a key role in ensuring our go-to-market strategy and local partner ecosystem are scaling and evolving to capture these opportunities.”
