Trellix has announced the appointment of Ganesh Iyer as its new Managing Director for South Asia and the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) region. Iyer has more than 20 years of sales leadership experience and will oversee Trellix’s growth strategy and expansion into India and the SAARC area. This action is viewed as a calculated move to strengthen the company’s position in the region’s quickly growing cybersecurity sector.

Having worked at Nutanix for almost six years, he was instrumental in growing the company’s operations in India, particularly in the government sector, before joining Trellix. Along with that, he has held executive positions with Microsoft, VMware, NICE Systems, Wipro, Bharti Airtel, and ComsatMax, among other notable tech organisations. His hiring is anticipated to improve Trellix’s client relations and operations throughout the SAARC and India regions, setting the business up for future growth in the expanding cybersecurity market.

His primary focus will be on implementing customer-focused solutions and spearheading sales transformation. “Security teams today are looking for a partner who can manage their organization’s security posture across cloud, networks, and endpoints on a unified platform,” Iyer stated in reference to his new position.

Neville Vincent, Trellix’s Senior Vice President for the Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) region, praised Iyer’s strong leadership and business growth capabilities. “Ganesh has a solid track record of growing businesses across South Asia. His ability to take calculated risks, foster strong customer relationships, and build resilient teams will be invaluable to our stakeholders,” Vincent noted.
