Vectra AI has appointed Taj El-Khayat as VP EMEA Partner Sales and Alliances. In his new role, El-Khayat will take a customer-first approach to growth, working with channel partners, MSSPs, tech alliances, cloud alliances, and Global Systems Integrators to meet increasing demand in EMEA for XDR solutions and customized cybersecurity services to address today’s hybrid attack landscape.
This appointment comes following the launch of the Vectra AI Clarity Programme for MSSPs, which will help partners deliver best-in-class XDR solutions.
Taj El-Khayat, VP EMEA Partner Sales and Alliances at Vectra AI, comments:
“I’m delighted to expand my role at Vectra AI and drive business growth at this critical time. Against a security skills shortage, a surge in AI and cloud technologies, and increasingly complex, costly security stacks – organizations are struggling to prevent SOC team burnout and breaches.
“But, there’s a golden opportunity to empower our channel partners with comprehensive cybersecurity services that will reduce the burden for customers and protect against multi-surface attacks. As such, my first aim will be to transform our partner momentum to a revenue engine that allows us to multiply our go-to-market reach.”
El-Khayat has a proven track record in channel strategy and sales leadership in EMEA. Prior to joining Vectra AI in 2022 as Area VP for South Europe, Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (SEMEA), he has driven regional growth in senior roles at Citrix, Riverbed Technology, Juniper Networks, and Microsoft
“El-Khayat’s partner-centric approach to sales has been instrumental to growing Vectra AI’s business over the past couple of years, and I’m excited to see him up our game as his remit expands to EMEA as a whole,” comments Teppo Halonen, Senior Vice President EMEA at Vectra AI. “His experience and leadership will be essential to building on our world-class channel partner programme, activating our new MSSP programme locally and empowering channel-led growth.”
