Fortinet appoints Andre van Zyl as its new channel accounts manager for southern Africa. In his new role, Van Zyl will grow and reinforce the regional channel organisation and strategy. Based in Pretoria, he will report to Perry Hutton, Fortinet’s regional director for Africa region.
His appointment supports Fortinet’s plans for significant business growth across the region. This is driven through the strengthening of its channel network with a better engagement towards existing partners and adding new Gold and Silver partners. His support will aim to increase partner certifications and the number of Fortinet Resident Engineers to improve the customer service quality.
Van Zyl, with over 20 years’ experience in the local IT sector, was a founding member of eSecure Distribution in 2003. He moved to Axiz as channel accounts manager after AxizWorkgroup acquired eSecure in 2012. With a long history in IT security and distribution, Van Zyl believes the scene is set for significant growth for IT security solutions in general, and Fortinet specifically, in the southern African region.
