Gigamon promotes Simon Oliver to lead channel across Asia Pacific

Gigamon has appointed Simon Oliver as director of channel sales for Asia Pacific.

Oliver, based in Melbourne, will now oversee the deep observability company's channel strategy and execution throughout the broader APAC region.

"In this environment, strong channel partnerships are essential to helping customers build resilience and stay ahead of evolving threats," Oliver said.

"Our partners need to supply customers with the right solutions to allow them to be proactive, rather than reactive, and that is exactly what Gigamon brings to the channel."

The promotion follows his leadership of Gigamon's channel business in Australia and New Zealand, where he enhanced partner engagement and aligned channel operations with the company's market priorities.

"Simon is a proven leader and a powerful advocate for our partner ecosystem, and this new role reflects our continued commitment to Gigamon customers and partners in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region," John Giacomini, chief revenue officer at Gigamon, said.
