WatchGuard Technologies
Michelle Welch
SVP, Marketing
Following WatchGuard’s June 2020 acquisition of Panda Security, Welch was instrumental in managing WatchGuard’s efforts to develop a common, channel-centric, go-to-market motion and make the combined company’s complete product portfolio available to all partners.
WatchGuard grew its partner ecosystem by more than 30 percent in 2021 and the WatchGuardOne partner program has seen double-digit growth in year-over-year partner participation. Following the company’s shift to a specialization-based approach to partner certification in late 2019, more than 40 percent of WatchGuardOne partners have achieved more than one specialization.
