About The Position
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is forming a new, high-impact sales leadership role to build and run a focused security-selling organization across the Telco Service Provider (SP) segments. Reporting to senior networking leadership, you will own strategy, team build-out, channel motion, and revenue for security products including SASE, SRX, SD-Branch, NAC variants, ClearPass, SSR, etc.).
