“Security has become one of the main topics in today’s
boardrooms and is a major area of investment for Intel. We see a
need to redefine the industry by providing better security outcomes
that not only protect, but also enable our partners to help
customers detect when they are compromised and quickly correct to a
known good state,” said Lovett. “Richard brings a deep
understanding of the complex challenges the world’s enterprises
face today. His ability to cultivate strong relationships,
strategic and collaborative leadership style, as well as vast
knowledge of worldwide markets will be key to our partner
community.”
With more than 25 years of experience in strategic sales and
channel leadership roles, Steranka is known as a versatile business
leader, demonstrating a forward-thinking outlook and inspiring
teams to think bigger. He joins Intel Security from Avaya where he
successfully transformed the Avaya Connect Partner program from a
volume-based to a value-based incentive structure. Most recently he
led Avaya’s go-to-market strategy driving growth through strategic
relationships with value added resellers, distributors and
partners.
“Security is perhaps the most rapidly evolving field within IT,
with new threats and technologies coming to market every day,” said
Steranka. “Staying relevant and on the offense is imperative so
that our partners can not only reach their own profitability goals,
but also better protect our mutual customers from next-generation
cyber threats.”
At Intel Security, Steranka will be responsible for the
continued development of the partner ecosystem, stressing the value
for partners of building-out integrated security capabilities with
fewer vendors, but with richer services and deeper expertise to
best protect customers.
Prior to joining Avaya, Steranka held numerous leadership
positions at Cisco in sales, channels, marketing and
operations.
