Symantec has announced the appointment of Ajay Goel as Managing Director for Symantec India.
In his new role, Goel will drive the company’s business strategy development and sales operations. “Enterprises are facing unprecedented information storage demands against the backdrop of an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape, which makes Symantec’s solutions and services extremely relevant to customers,” said Eric Hoh, Vice President, South Asia Region, Symantec.
“Ajay brings extensive enterprise experience across a wide range of industry sectors which will enable us to continue to build strong customer and partner relationships in the Indian market,” he added.
“Security, storage and systems management are growing sectors as customers continue to grapple with how to secure and manage their information environments,” said Goel. “I’m very much looking forward to actively engaging with customers and partners to help them address these challenges.”
Goel brings over 25 years of engineering and sales leadership experience with some of the world’s leading multinationals, including Cisco Systems, Sun Microsystems and Asea Brown Boveri. At Cisco Systems Goel was the Senior Vice President for the Industry Business, Strategy and Operations for India and Saarc, and also led Cisco’s Industry Business Council.
