NetAlly announced the hiring of Jeff McCullough, a 25-year channel veteran, as VP of NetAlly North America sales on Tuesday. McCullough has served in several senior leadership positions during his tenure, including roles at SolarWinds, NetApp and HP.

“Jeff’s extensive experience building successful channel programs alongside his deep understanding of IT partner ecosystems make him the perfect fit for NetAlly as we enter our next phase of growth and begin to move up-market into the enterprise through our valued channel partners,” said Mike Parrottino, CEO at NetAlly.

Noting that modern networks are becoming more dynamic, Parrottino said McCullough's experience will fit the business perfectly.

"The IT channel plays a critical role in helping organizations streamline wired, wireless and edge vulnerability testing so they can better secure and operate their networks," he said. "We are confident that Jeff will elevate our channel strategy and successfully build upon NetAlly’s reputation as the trusted industry standard in network testing for both customers and the channel.”
