Riverbed appoints Nick Boyle as VP sales for APJ

Riverbed has appointed Nick Boyle as Vice President Sales (VP), Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ).

Boyle, who brings more than 20 years of experience in the APAC software, data and analytics sector, will be responsible for Riverbed’s sales strategy and go-to-market execution to drive and accelerate the next wave of business growth across the region.

Reporting to Riverbed COO Dan Smoot, Boyle will be based in the company’s Sydney office and lead the strategic direction and growth of the APJ teams.

Despite pandemic lockdowns and restrictions subsiding, organisations are continuing to move towards hybrid working environments and work-from-anywhere models. As a result, visibility and performance of their network and applications has become critical for business success, Riverbed said.

“Nick’s skill set and experience working in fast-paced, innovative technology companies align with our strategic objectives, and he is well qualified to lead our team as we deliver critical solutions for our customers as they accelerate cloud, SaaS and hybrid workplace initiatives,” Smoot said.

“Our APJ business is growing at an exceptional rate, and in 2021 we are well positioned to further extend our growth,” Smoot said.

“Our focus is to enable our customers’ digital transformation to improve application performance, security and business efficiencies, and provide a better user experience, regardless of location,” Boyle said.

Boyle previously held the position of Vice President Asia at Sitecore, and prior to that, he spent two years at Adobe as Managing Director of Enterprise Sales.
