Security outfit Imperva has appointed Kirt Jorgenson as Vice President of EMEA Channel Sales.
The company said that Jorgenson work closely with partners across the region to create programs designed to grow their business with Imperva products, solutions, and services.
It added he will scale any collaborative go-to-market partner activities that need a bit of scaling and expanding the Imperva brand across EMEA.
Imperva Regional Vice President Spencer Young said that the outfit’s network of partners was under Jorgenson’s leadership.
“We will continue to help them grow their businesses and take advantage of the market opportunity we all have. Our Partners will benefit from Kirt’s deep understanding of the Imperva business globally and the strong relationships he already has with the EMEA Channel community”, Young said.
Jorgenson joined Imperva six years ago to develop and lead the global partner marketing team. Most recently, he was responsible for the development and execution of the global channel reseller, distributor and MSSP programs for the Imperva Partner Ecosystem.
Under his leadership, global partner-sourced revenue grew by double-digits. These programs helped enable and incent global partners to source new business from the company’s market-leading products and Imperva Sonar, the industry’s first security platform that combines security across edge, applications and data.
Prior to joining Imperva, Jorgenson spent three years leading channel programmes at Riverbed Technology. Before that, he spent 14 years at Cisco where he led business development efforts in emerging markets and built programs to support the company’s international network of managed service providers (MSPs).
Jorgenson said that Imperva has an incredible opportunity to help partners scale their business and provide customers with market-leading solutions that solve the most complex challenges in cybersecurity.
“I’m excited to take on this new role and work alongside a team committed to our partners’ success. The EMEA market is ripe with business potential, and I look forward to building deeper relationships with our established partner network to help them capitalise on the market opportunity.”
