ControlUp's Julia Scully

Scully will lead the Drive DX program, working with partners to enhance customer experiences and accelerate ControlUp DEX adoption. She brings experience from her 13-year tenure at Citrix, where she most recently was channel director.

Prior to her role at Citrix, Scully held a sales and subscriber leadership position with Weiss Group.

“I will be in listening and learning mode for the first 30 days,” Scully said. “I want to hear specifically how they are addressing the DXE market and how we can partner better together, as well as evangelizing our new go-to-market and partner program that was launched. Having the experience and trust I've established in the partner community is key to my success in this new role.”

ControlUp enhanced the partner program based on feedback it collected from its first partner advisory group meeting in October, she said.

Scully said she will focus on expanding customer use cases.

“With our new DXE GTM and sales strategy, our sales team will work more closely with partners, sharing use cases and helping uncover new ones alongside our partners — working as one team,” she said.

In addition, ControlUp is creating a consolidated pricing and solution package that will help its partners with predictability and profitability, Scully said.
