Ron Gill, VP Sales Americas, Aerohive

New to this year’s list, Ron Gill is the new sales leader at the HIVE, working to leverage the channel to penetrate the midmarket. Gill strongly believes the midmarket should and will be the foundation of Aerohive’s business, noting that the disruption in the WLAN segment today provides a ripe opportunity for Aerohive to gain market share. Gill notes, ’The midmarket is willing to take a chance on best of breed technologies from new suppliers. They are looking for partnership from vendors in solving real problems in their world.’
