By Jeff Tripp - Sr. Director, Americas Channel Sales, Skyhigh Security
We held our annual Americas Sales Kickoff the week of February 19 in Plano, TX. It was great to see our teams representing the US, Canada, and Latin America come together for a week of learning and fun on the topic of cloud security. And this year, we were joined by sponsoring partners Ingram Micro, W, Capra, Seclore, and UNS who helped make the event a huge success.
The week kicked off with our Executive Leadership Team sharing our mission, vision, and data protection strategy, outlining the goals for the year ahead and celebrating the successes of an amazing 2023. The day culminated with our Global Channel Chief and Americas Sales Leader, Scott Goree, delivering a message of his own, inspiring and energizing the team in its quest for a record-setting 2024.
We celebrated the 1st Anniversary of our industry-leading Altitude Partner Program, authored by Hunter Haverty, with the announcement of its exciting new additions: the Professional Services and MSP Certification Programs now available to our partners.
We heard from our Leaders across the business – Sales, Engineering, Marketing and Product Teams – who shared business plans and our integrated go-to-market plan for the year, and reminded us of the power that comes with collaboration and communication and working as One.
And last, but certainly not least, presentations from the sponsoring partners who helped make our event a reality. They shared business updates and areas where their capabilities had grown, and they all made mention of their intent to double-down on their dedication and commitment to our partnership. They provided some fantastic meals, incredible entertainment, and stimulating conversation along the way, and we thank them for their support and participation.
Overall, an absolutely incredible week. Our teams are energized as we approach the new year with eyes wide open and expectations high. I can’t wait for next year’s event to realize our achievements from 2024 and to set our sights even higher in 2025.
