Backup vendor Veeam celebrated its Australia and New Zealand partners with a virtual awards ceremony where it announced its top ANZ partners for the yea.
Docherty has stepped into the role of JAPAC (Japan and Asia Pacific) channel and commercial sales director, a newly created position at the cybersecurity company.
Her role at Veeam was filled by Klasie Holtzhausen, formerly of Forcepoint.
According to a spokesperson for the company, Docherty’s remit with the company will be to help accelerate the growth of its commercial segment business, working with distributors and partners to scale in the region.
She is also tasked with developing the company’s partner programs and ensuring the programs and processes “remove friction wherever possible” for commercial partners and customers. I m really excited to join Palo Alto Networks. To be part of a company with double digit growth YoY and with a partner first strategy is key for me. I m most excited about meeting new partners within the JAPAC region and re-engaging with partners and distributors I have worked with in the past,” Docherty told CRN.
