Citrix has appointed Darren Fields (pictured) as its new vice president for networking in EMEA, reporting to Sherif Seddik, senior vice president and managing director Citrix EMEA.
He began his new position at the beginning of April 2020 and will be responsible for driving the company’s networking business across the region. “Over the past three years, a key part of my role has been to help accelerate the Citrix growth strategy through increased cloud adoption – driving improved customer experience and a loyal partner ecosystem. I look forward to focusing more on our core networking business as the backbone of the continued transition to the cloud of businesses across EMEA,” says Darren Fields.
Fields joined Citrix in 2017 to manage the company’s business in the UK & Ireland, where he helped to drive results and scale the business during its transformation to a subscription-based firm.
Prior to joining Citrix, he was at Vodafone in Northern Europe, where he was responsible for managing the group’s cloud and security division and has previously held many internationally-focused senior leadership roles at companies like Telefonica, EMC, BMC, and Xerox.
“At this time of mass digitalisation, networking solutions are not only essential for reliable IT delivery and network performance optimisation but are also crucial for delivering great employee experience. Darren has just the right mix of know-how and leadership in his approach to ensure Citrix continues to provide the best networking results and resource availability to our customers and partners,” says Sherif Seddik, senior vice president and managing director of Citrix EMEA.
