2. Keerti Melkote
Founder, President
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company
Melkote’s unwavering cloud-first vision and his impressive resume as both a technologist and entrepreneur continue to power HPE’s intelligent edge strategy faster and further than any and all competitors.
It takes some doing to go toe-to-toe with Cisco in the networking market, but that’s just what Melkote has done by establishing Aruba as a leader in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure and Wired and Wireless LAN Access. Add HPE’s planned $925 million acquisition of Silver Peak Systems to the equation and you’ve got a robust HPE Aruba enterprise networking story.
Look for Melkote’s influence to grow as Aruba puts the pedal to the metal on the HPE intelligent edge strategy.
