Nico Bosschaert appointed Global Channel Strategy Lead at Secutec and partner at sister company SaaSForce
Secutec has appointed Nico Bosschaert as Global Channel Strategy Lead. He is beginning a second career at the cybersecurity company and, in his new role, will expand the European and global partner channel for the indirect sales of Secutec’s cybersecurity solutions. Bosschaert will also become a partner and business associate at SaaSForce, Secutec’s sister company that coordinates the licensing sales of its cybersecurity software.
From this position, Bosschaert will further develop the cybersecurity company’s international operational channel strategy. According to CEO Geert Baudewijns, this is essential to strengthen Secutec’s market position and respond more effectively to the growing demand for scalable cybersecurity software.
Initially, Nico Bosschaert will focus on the sales of SecureSIGHT, Secutec’s cybersecurity platform that connects various expert modules and enables comprehensive cyber protection.
“We are already successful today in the direct sales of SecureSIGHT — including SecureDNS — to end customers. With the arrival of Nico Bosschaert, we can broaden our growth strategy towards IT service providers, partners, and resellers. Nico brings extensive experience in developing channel strategies to Secutec,” says CEO Geert Baudewijns enthusiastically about the arrival of his new partner. “His participation reflects our shared long-term ambition.”
Over the past years, Nico Bosschaert worked at Barracuda, a cybersecurity software developer. Until recently, he served as Director Channel Business Sales for Western Europe, where he was responsible for expanding indirect sales channels across several international markets. Before that, Bosschaert gained many years of experience in channel sales at Nomadesk-UnifiedPost and during his first tenure at Secutec and SaaSForce.
“The cybersecurity market is evolving incredibly fast, and organizations are increasingly looking for integrated solutions,” says Global Channel Strategy Lead Nico Bosschaert. “With SecureSIGHT, Secutec has an exceptionally strong overarching platform that responds to the growing need for more proactive cybersecurity. In cybersecurity, strategies relying on one vendor and one solution for one problem are no longer sufficient. Organizations are deploying multiple products from different vendors to tackle their cyber challenges within one integrated vision. They increasingly rely on specialized partners and managed service providers to achieve this. With a strong ecosystem of partners, Secutec can support both this vision and its growth ambitions.”
