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.
