CloudBolt releases Rainmaker programme

Cloudy outfit CloudBolt Software is rolling out its new Rainmaker channel partner programme which it claims will enable channel partners to increase relevance to their business and customers.

The company said the Rainmaker rollout correlates with and facilitates the accelerating shift to an “all things as-a-service” market landscape, where enterprises need a wider variety of technologies and services to meet customers wherever they are on their hybrid cloud, multi-cloud journey. Pushing software and hardware is no longer the value play, but instead delivering white-glove levels of service is the focus. Whatever any of that means,

Cloudbolt Senior Vice President Larry Kraft said: “Our partners are at the core of every decision we make as a business…from lab creation to marketing to the potential for partners to maximise their revenue growth. Our recent acquisitions provide us a breadth and depth of capabilities to solve the top challenges in the hybrid cloud market, and our partners can take advantage of this to enhance their offerings and drive sustainable growth.”

CloudBolt appoints Patrick Malaperiman new EMEA VP sales

Cloudy CloudBolt Software has appointed Patrick Malaperiman as the new Vice President of Sales for EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa). Based out of London, he will be responsible for helping CloudBolt grow its presence and scale its customer base across the EMEA region.

With nearly 30 percent of CloudBolt’s customer base outside the US, the strategic hire of Malaperiman comes on the heels of the company’s successful 2019. This includes the opening of new locations in London and Boston, 50 percent year-over-year growth in customer orders, and being named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list.

Malaperiman brings an extensive background of over 25 years in the software industry, including 15 years leading international sales, sales engineering, and channel teams. Malaperiman most recently served as Senior Vice President of Sales, EMEA at NetBrain Technologies, and Vice President of International Sales at Cherwell Software. Prior to Cherwell, Malaperiman served in senior EMEA sales roles during two successful IPOs at ServiceNow and Twilio.
