HPE launches new Irish partner programme

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has launched a fresh Ireland partner programme.

The outfit said the programme aims to “reinvigorate” its partnerships in Ireland and is centred on strategic investment to support partner growth.

The move will be led by Heather Walls who is HPE’s as new Ireland channel leader after working at the former maker of expensive printer ink for more than ten years.

She will join the local Irish leadership team whilst continuing to report into the UK & Ireland channel director, Lewis Simmonds.

“For us at HPE, our channel partners are a core driver for the overall business, including our HPE GreenLake strategy,” said Walls.

Part of its Irish expansion will see HPE focus on closing the talent gap and rear new staff.

Building on the knowledge gained through her role leading the HPE early careers sales programme, Walls will play a role in this by supporting HPE Ireland’s investment in local talent to grow the channel team.
