Juniper Networks Names Gordon Mackintosh as Vice President of Worldwide Channel and Virtual Sales
January 03 2020 - 7:45AM
Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today
announced the appointment of Gordon Mackintosh as the new Worldwide
Vice President of Channel and Virtual Sales. In his role,
Mackintosh will drive Juniper’s go-to-market strategy for partners,
aimed at delivering greater business outcomes through Juniper’s
broad portfolio of AI-driven, cloud-based enterprise solutions and
managed-services offerings, as well as simplifying the process of
doing business with Juniper.
Organizations of all sizes are looking to reap the benefits of
the cloud as massive changes like AI, 5G, IoT and growing security
concerns put significant pressure on the traditional network and
heighten end-user expectations. But these highly distributed cloud
environments can also create significant levels of organizational
complexity that can bring business to a halt if not managed
appropriately. Juniper’s network of partners have the unique
ability to act as consultants for customers not solely for
infrastructure procurement, but also in how to deploy and how to
shift business models and culture for the cloud era.
Juniper recently announced updates to its Juniper Partner
Advantage program for 2020 with new specializations, incentives and
marketing and sales enablement designed to help Juniper partners
expand their business, drive value and capitalize on the major
growth areas in enterprise IT. Mackintosh’s team intends to build
on these enhancements by executing on a sales strategy designed
specifically to enable AI-driven wired and wireless opportunities
via Juniper’s recently acquired Mist technology.
Mackintosh’s experience includes leading high-performance teams
in executive sales and channel management roles at top networking
and technology companies. In his previous role as Global Head of
Channels and Distribution at Extreme Networks, Mackintosh deployed
new partner programs and initiatives, driving partner growth
and profitability, as well as managing investments in growing
virtual sales teams to partners to develop new Enterprise business.
Prior to joining Extreme Networks, Mackintosh held a number of
positions at Cisco Systems, developing industry leading partner GTM
programs and leading direct and indirect sales teams for cloud and
software solutions in small and medium enterprise markets.
“Juniper Networks has a great reputation in the partner
community with its strong technology and solutions in AI-driven
enterprise, multicloud networking and connected security
solutions. I couldn’t be more honored to lead Juniper’s
global partner organization into the future,” said Mackintosh. “The
opportunity ahead for Juniper and its partners is vast, but to
seize it, we must collaborate more effectively and move faster.
Partners continue to be an integral part of Juniper’s growth
strategy in all segments and I’m truly excited to join the team to
continue to create innovative strategies that help partners
accelerate their business into the multicloud era.”
“We’re thrilled to have Gordon lead Juniper’s Global Partner
Sales,” said Marcus Jewell, Juniper Networks’ Executive Vice
President and Chief Sales Officer. "Gordon has had proven success
in leading innovative and high-performing teams, establishing a
culture of collaboration, developing people and, most importantly,
prioritizing and strengthening the incredible relationships with
our partners.”
