Sunbelt Software, a provider of Windows security software has appointed David Parkin as Sales Director EMEA. Parkin will be responsible for developing the companyโs go-to-market strategy across its enterprise and consumer security products, and expanding the software firm’s channel programme.
Parkin will engage and recruit resellers as well as run end-user marketing activities to drive awareness of Sunbelt within the market. Sunbelt launched its VIPRE Enterprise£ antivirus and antispyware solution in February 2009.
โThe enterprise security market continues to be a fast-moving, dynamic environment, and Sunbeltโs entry into the UK comes at an interesting time,โ said Parkin. โI see that Sunbelt has a great opportunity to shake up the antivirus industry, taking on the established vendors in this space by offering better performance and more cost-effective approaches. Iโm looking forward to expanding the UK enterprise channel for Sunbelt, as well as growing the companyโs footprint across Europe in the long term.โ
Parkin joins Tampa Bay, Florida-based Sunbelt from BakBone Software, where he was Northern European Sales Director and responsible for corporate and channel sales in the UK, Benelux and Nordic regions. Previously, he spent over eight years with Symantec running the companyโs sales and channel activities.
