Cloud software and hyperconverged infrastructure vendor Nutanix has appointed Andrew Gill as channel director for Western Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.
He joins Nutanix from his position as director of the UK and Ireland partner ecosystem at IBM, where he was responsible for the sales and go-to-market strategy through the channel.
Gill will now oversee Nutanix's go-to-market relationships with resellers, distributors, system integrators and technology partners in the region. He will play a key role in driving channel focused initiatives such as Nutanix Cloud Bundles, a strategic and unified offering to access Nutanix enterprise cloud software and solutions. Gill said: “The powerful combination of Nutanix’s unsurpassed multi-cloud approach and its clear commitment to driving true business value for customers and partners alike make it a highly desirable organisation to join.”
Dom Poloniecki, VP of sales for the WEURSSA region at Nutanix, said: “Andrew has a proven track record in consistently over-achieving on business objectives by leveraging his expertise in running highly successful, profitable sales teams and partner ecosystems.
“He is a welcome addition to the team and both his experience and passion as well as his extensive executive relationships in the partner community will help us to enable our industry-leading partner ecosystem to gain maximum benefit from the innovative product portfolio we offer.”
VMware chief operating officer Rajiv Ramaswami joined Nutanix as its new CEO at the end of last year.
