F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced the hire
of John DiLullo to lead its global sales organization. As an
Executive Vice President reporting to the CEO, DiLullo is
responsible for overseeing the company’s sales and channel strategy
as F5 further expands into the growth areas of application
security, service provider solutions, and cloud application
deployment. DiLullo will start on Monday, August 31, and be based
in F5’s Seattle headquarters.
“F5 has grown far beyond its hardware roots into a company
delivering hybrid application services on-premises, in the cloud,
and as a service,” said Manny Rivelo, President and CEO of F5
Networks. “Our biggest growth opportunities are still ahead of us.
We are excited to have someone with John’s experience in market
expansion, channel management, and global networking sales join the
team. With John’s leadership, we will continue to evolve our sales
force to better serve our customers’ needs while maintaining the
level of great service they’ve come to expect from F5.”
DiLullo brings to F5 over 25 years of experience in global
business, sales, market and channel development, operations, and
team management. Prior to joining F5, he ran the Worldwide Sales
and Services team at Aruba Networks, through their acquisition by
Hewlett-Packard. Before this role, he served Avaya Communications
in three progressive General Manager roles—first as President of
Asia-Pacific, then Latin America & Canada, and ultimately the
entire Americas Theater.
Before joining Avaya, DiLullo spent seven years at Cisco
Systems, most recently as Vice President of Channels, and three
years at SonicWALL as Vice President of Sales, Channels and Field
Operations. He holds a B.S. from Villanova University and was a
Fellow and Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University.
