Channel veteran Scott Collins is the new vice president of channel sales at Fidelis Cybersecurity, charged with expanding the company’s global partner network.

Before joining Fidelis, Collins served as director of FireEye’s Americas channel sales for four years, where he led a channel sales team of more than 20 people and played a key role in designing and growing the company’s partner program.

Fidelis provides products and services for detecting and stopping advanced cyberattacks.

“Our channel partners play a critical role in ensuring our customers’ success,” said David Macey, Fidelis’ senior vice president of worldwide sales. “We’re committed to growing our partner network by teaming with the best VARs, distributors, integrators and resellers. The addition of Scott and his experience building successful channel programs in the security industry is evidence of our commitment to build a world-class partner program.”{ad}

Prior to his tenure at FireEye, Collins established the partner program at Zscaler as the director of North American channel sales. Earlier, he held channel and sales leadership positions at Cisco (previously IronPort), Blue Coat Systems and McAfee.

“I’m looking forward to increasing the reach, impact and success of our channel partner network,” he said. “The existing Fidelis customer base is impressive. As we continue to increase our momentum in the market, our partners will also continue to win. The cybersecurity landscape is continuing to evolve away from legacy solutions and Fidelis is uniquely positioned to provide a tremendous revenue opportunity for our partner ecosystem.”
