Erik Randles

Fast-growing automation vendor Ivanti brought in former VMware go-to-market leader Erik Randles to help integrate the Ivanti, MobileIron and Pulse Secure partner programs together.

The South Jordan, Utah-based automation platform provider has tasked Randles as its new senior vice president of global channels and alliances with taking the more than 10,000 solution providers across the three organizations and creating a three-tiered partner program that incentivizes cross-selling and rewards the most committed partners.

Rankles was most recently vice president of global business development and alliance sales for VMware’s cloud management software-as-a-service business. Prior to that, he was vice president of global business development and alliance sales for Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s SimpliVity business.
