Sophos, a world leader in protecting businesses against spam and
viruses, has appointed Nimmity Zappert to the position of Channel
Marketing Manager. Based at Sophos's UK headquarters in Abingdon,
Zappert joins Sophos HQ with a wealth of experience of developing
and driving channel initiatives. Prior to this appointment, Zappert
was channel sales manager at the Australian Sophos office where she
was responsible for growing the local reseller base from 40 to 240
partners. Before joining Sophos in 2000, Zappert was developing
channel initiatives for Cable & Wireless Optus.
As channel marketing manager, Zappert will be responsible for
increasing the support structure for the Sophos Partner Program,
Sophos's initiative to reward resellers which are committed to
promoting the company and its products. In her new position Zappert
will be tasked with driving the global elements of the Partner
Program, ensuring consistency across all regions while looking at
how Sophos can find new and exciting ways to market its anti-virus
and anti-spam solutions in collaboration with local channel
partners.
"As Sophos continues to grow, we wanted to put in place some
experienced and knowledgeable candidates to ensure our approach
remains fresh and consistent throughout all our subsidiaries across
the world," said Jan Hruska, CEO and co-founder for Sophos.
"Sophos's commitment to the channel means that Zappert's new role
is central to the success of our business. Her impressive track
record in Australia means we are confident she will add value to
the service we already offer our resellers and partners around the
world."
"I am delighted to be working with the Sophos global team," said
Zappert. "My experience with working with a Sophos subsidiary will
be invaluable in helping me drive the Partner Program on an
international level."
