F5 Networks has announced to appoint, Neill Burton as its new Head of Channel and Alliances for the sub-Saharan Africa region including UK and Ireland.
Burton joins F5 from BMC Software, where he was Vice-President, Channels and Alliances, for the UK and Ireland. Prior to that, he was Vice-President, Channels and Alliances, at Hitachi Data Systems, following 11 years at Computacenter, where he headed the Datacentre Solutions business line and the specialist sales force. Burton is particularly known for driving growth by building compelling go-to-market strategies with targeted partner and alliance ecosystems.
“F5’s Synthesis vision is a powerful message for our customers and, therefore, F5’s channel ecosystem. Instead of buying into mere product excellence, it means people can buy into a strategy. F5 is a company that has experienced accelerated growth and, I believe, with a next-generation partner ecosystem built to bring outsourcers, systems integrators and value-added resellers under the same umbrella, we are well positioned to continue this growth path in the immediate future.” Neill Burton, Head of Channels and Alliances, UKISSA at F5 Networks.
