Netskope, a leader in secure access service edge (SASE), today announced the appointment of Colette Kitterhing as Vice President, UKI. Kitterhing will manage sales and field teams in one of Netskope’s fast-expanding markets as customer demand rises for Netskope’s industry-leading converged SASE platform, Netskope One.
Kitterhing has significant experience in networking and cybersecurity, as well as partnership management and operations, most recently in Regional Sales Director roles for Palo Alto Networks and Riverbed. Kitterhing comes to Netskope with a reputation for ensuring diverse representation within her teams, something she credits with driving the commercial success she has overseen.
“There are two equally important reasons I wanted to join the Netskope team,” commented Kitterhing. “Firstly, watching from the outside I have been incredibly impressed with the way the company has built a truly integrated, world class, next generation, cloud-native network security platform. It’s an admirable achievement and the fast growing customer base is a clear proof of that technological prowess. No less important is the culture of the company. With every individual I have met from Netskope I have seen passion, collaboration, respect and teamwork. It is also clear that such a strong culture is experienced by customers and creates a very particular tone of engagement between vendor and customer. I wanted to be a part of that.”
“I am really pleased that Colette joins Netskope today, because she has so much to offer our UKI customers, partners, and team,” said Stephan Mesguich, Senior Vice President, EMEA and LATAM, Netskope. “Our engineering teams have built technology specifically to address the challenges that customers face today – whether that’s changing organisational structures, workforce behaviours, or new threats and data protection challenges. But the Netskope way means that having the best technology is the starting point, and the experience – both of Netskope’s people and that technology – is where we really win out. Colette is exactly the person we were looking for to lead the cultural and commercial success of Netskope in the UK and Ireland.”
Earlier this year, Netskope unveiled Netskope One, its single platform that contains the full range of market-leading Netskope capabilities that enable security, network and infrastructure and operations teams to reduce risk, cost, and complexity.
