Nimble Storage has appointed Cath Gentile as senior channel development manager for Australia and New Zealand.
Gentile will be responsible for the flash storage vendor’s channel, including new partner opportunities and programs for enterprise and cloud providers.
Prior to joining Nimble, Gentile was partner development manager for Citrix for just over two years. Nimble is in a vendor alliance with Citrix.
She began her channel career in 1992 as an account manager and sales team leader for Applied Micro Systems for five years. In 1999, Gentile joined HP as a channel manager, before moving to Singtel Optus in 2001 as a business development manager.
In 2004, Gentile crossed into distributor land, becoming southern regional sales manager for Westcon until 2008.
Nimble ANZ managing director Bede Hackney said he was thrilled to welcome Gentile to the team: “Her experience and success in developing and supporting robust channel partners and new sales opportunities will be invaluable to the ongoing growth of the regional business.
“At the same time she bring years of IT sales and marketing expertise, which positions her well to support our expanding channel ecosystem across Australia and New Zealand with go-to-market sales initiatives and enablement.”
