Gigamon has appointed Dave Woodcock as VP EMEA to further accelerate market growth, and support the region’s heightened demand for Digital Transformation, 5G and cloud initiatives. With over 20 years’ experience in channel and enterprise technology, Dave will be responsible for building, leading and running world-class go-to-market teams and strategies. Dave’s key priorities will include expanding the company’s EMEA footprint by enhancing customer and partner engagement, as well as enabling a shift towards a subscription-based model to better serve customer needs. Dave has a proven track record of driving growth within the high-tech community, with roles in enterprise and channel sales across a series of geographies including EMEA, US and APJ. Prior to joining Gigamon, Dave served as SVP Worldwide Sales at Imperva, a leader in cybersecurity, where he had previously led regional and international sales teams. He has also held senior leadership positions at technology organisations PTC, Ascential Software (acquired by IBM) and Crossbeam Systems (acquired by BlueCoat). “This is undoubtedly an interesting time to start a new chapter of my career, and I believe joining Gigamon, a pioneer in network visibility and security, will make for an exciting and rewarding new journey”, said Dave. “The business landscape is evolving in unexpected ways and our customers’ and partners’ demands are rapidly changing with it. At this time of increased need for digitalisation, Gigamon provides the platform and opportunity to achieve something special, and its innovative technology is best placed to empower enterprises to optimise their resources, remain secure and enhance performance. I am thrilled to be a part of this company, and look forward to supporting its continued success”. Dave’s appointment coincides with the selection of Sharon Hobson as Senior Sales Director in Northern Europe. Gigamon is also in the process of expanding EMEA sales operations teams and recruiting a senior leader in the DACH region. By bolstering teams across EMEA and applying a strategic regional focus, Gigamon is set to provide invaluable support to EMEA customers and channel partners who are looking to efficiently scale, adapt to the current climate and succeed.
