This week in Meet the Chiefs we get to know Karl Meulema, the newly minted senior vice president of Global Channels at Riverbed Technology (RVBD). Meulema made the transition to Riverbed last month after serving as the vice president of Global Services and Partners at Avaya, where he was heavily involved in optimizing the services experience for customers whose primary interface is with the partner. Prior to his time at Avaya, Meulema served as senior vice president of Global Strategies and Operations at Cisco Systems (CSCO), where he played a role in driving the company’s services strategy.
