A10 Networks announced significant investment in the Middle East region including new sales, presales and support staff, offices and partnerships. A10 appointed Glen Ogden as Regional Sales Director for the Middle East region. Glen has over 15 years combined experience in Application Delivery and Network Security, holding positions with F5, NetScaler, Cogneto, Nokia and Qualys. Glen holds a post-graduate degree in International Business from Hull University, United Kingdom.
In the first three quarters of 2013, A10 has seen huge growth in the Middle East region and is looking to recruit additional positions for 2014 to help its dedicated team provide increased local sales and technical pre-sales. A10 also committed to have an Engineering Support Team based in KSA in addition to an indirect channel model across the region.
A10 will be exhibiting at the Gitex exhibition in October and the expansion in the Middle East region matches major growth for A10 over the last six months whereby during a period where many other technology vendors have imposed hiring freezes, A10 has also hired new EMEA region staff in Germany, France, UK, Italy and Sweden.
“Attracting the best people to A10 Networks is essential to support our growth. We are recruiting top personnel as fast as we can without impacting quality. Given the current demand and our technological advantages, I see A10 doubling in size in my region for years to come,” said Andre Stewart, VP of EMEA for A10 Networks.
A10 achieved record revenue in its fiscal year 2012, supported by offices in 23 countries, nearly 3,000 customers in over 45 countries, and nearly 600 employees—leading to No. 1 market share in Japan and No. 3 worldwide, the press release announced.
At GITEX Technology Week A10 Networks can be found in Hall 1 of the exhibition at stand number C1-09.
