Dicker Data has appointed a new Business Manager for Cisco Security and is recruiting for other Cisco Security roles.
The distributor has hired former JB Hi-Fi Business manager George Guirguis to the newly created role, which will involve building the sales, technical presales and support mechanisms required to underpin the planned growth in Cisco’s Security business, along with raising the profile of Cisco Security in the Australian channel.
Vickie Madeleine, General Manager, Cisco, Dicker Data Limited, welcomed Guirguis as “we commence our strategic investment into driving the growth of Cisco Security in the local market.”
“Cisco has the most comprehensive range of security solutions, comprising of endpoint, firewall, identity, network, cloud and more, and we’re on a mission to make every partner aware of the role Cisco can play in combatting the increasingly complex cybersecurity challenges facing our industry.”
Dicker Data is actively recruiting for a number of Cisco Security roles to “extend the reach of Cisco Security solutions.”
“Cisco Security has been underrepresented in our market, which means there’s a significant opportunity ahead for the partners who are willing to invest and be part of the hyper-growth journey we’re building,” Guirguis said.
“Cisco is one of the few vendors that offers end-to-end cybersecurity solutions to protect users and endpoints, through to core infrastructure, but the nature of cybersecurity is complex.”
“We’re creating programs to simplify Cisco Security for our partners, and we have a number of exciting initiatives in the works that will help our partners to capitalise and expand on the cybersecurity opportunities within their existing customers,” Guirguis added.
Dicker Data will launch Cisco Security initiatives at Cisco LIVE in Melbourne, from 5th December 2023, starting with a luncheon with senior, global Cisco team members and complimentary Cisco Security demonstration equipment that will be supplied to selected partners.
