Lumeta Appoints Veteran Security Executive Paul Kriksciun as Director of Channels, North America
SOMERSET, NJ (PRWEB) October 17, 2017 -- Lumeta Corporation, the authority on providing cyber situational awareness for rapid security response, today announced that Paul Kriksciun has joined the company as Director of Channels. Kriksciun joins Lumeta from Carbon Black where he led the company’s East and Federal Channel Programs. At Lumeta, he will be responsible for the development, strategy and execution of programs to support the company’s renewed focus supporting customer’s security needs through the channel.
“Today’s customers are transitioning to and from the cloud, outsourcing business processes and exploring the Internet-of-Things, all of which create massive network security risks,” said Pat Donnellan, CEO of Lumeta. “Paul is a tremendous addition to the Lumeta team as we execute against our strategic vision to provide our customers with a comprehensive and cost-effective means of securing their network infrastructure. Since joining the team, Paul has already demonstrated his impact in helping further establish Lumeta as the trusted advisor companies need to keep their entire digital ecosystem safe and secure.”
Kriksciun’s keen ability to identify the best elements for a successful, mutually beneficial security partnership was instrumental in helping develop Carbon Black’s award-winning Partner Program. Prior to that, he was director of Channel Field Marketing at Extreme Networks where he successfully grew its partner business by more than 150 percent to receive “top performer” recognition.
“If you’re not committing to the channel, you’re not committing to growth. I am excited to be working with a company like Lumeta whose team is fully committed to looking for new ways to enhance its already highly successful channel program,” said Kriksciun. “From my time working with channel programs within the security industry, I understand the challenges customers face when it comes to protecting their data in today’s cyber risk landscape. I’m passionate about working closely with partners to help bring more security and IT professionals the level of cyber situational awareness only Lumeta can provide.”
Kriksciun’s appointment comes at a transformative period for the company as it looks to enhance its channel strategy to further drive company growth. The first phase of Lumeta’s updated channel plans will focus on refinement, prioritizing partnerships that offer real and immediate value-add to customers and being highly selective when it comes to working with new partners. Lumeta will then work to scale the program across the U.S., and into Canada and Europe.
