As cybersecurity specialist VIPRE launches its managed service provider (MSP) partner program, it has named long-time security channel leader Marya Munir as the company’s new senior director of channel marketing. Munir brings more than 20 years of IT channel experience to VIPRE and most recently served as director of worldwide partner and alliance marketing at Webroot.
Munir will lead VIPRE’s strategic planning, partner enablement, worldwide channel programs, demand generation activities and go-to-market execution for all partners, including solution providers, managed service providers and remote monitoring and management (RMM) partners.
At Webroot, she was responsible for recruiting, enabling and retaining over 10,000 partners worldwide. Prior to that, Munir worked for Imation, Qwest Communications, and Avnet Technology Solutions.
“Marya is a creative, experienced strategist and a passionate advocate for solution providers. We are excited for her to lead our channel marketing efforts as we launch our new channel program and VIPRE Advanced Security for Business solution,” said Jason Greenwood, chief revenue officer at VIPRE.
