Venkatesh Swaminathan has been named as the new Country Head for the India operations of Attachmate, NetIQ, Novell and SUSE, business units of the Attachmate Group. In this role, he will be reporting to Boris Ivancic, Vice-President & General Manager, Asia-Pacific. While, Venkatesh will be responsible for the continued growth of the Indian business, one of his key areas of focus will be the continued strengthening of Attachmate, NetIQ, Novell and SUSE's positions in the Indian market and to enhance business value to enterprise customers of these brands.
Boris Ivancic said, "With his vast experience spanning 17 years and his ability to deal with customers across verticals and geographies, Venkatesh will be an asset for us in reinforcing our current market presence in a fast-growing and dynamic market such as India."
Venkatesh Swaminathan said, "I am glad to be associated with these prestigious brands -Attachmate, NetIQ, Novell and SUSE - all of which enjoy a long history of innovation, product quality, and commitment to customer success. With over 12 years in the security domain, I see the need for increased emphasis on SIEM today- a key market for NetIQ - amidst global threats and this was one of the primary factors that attracted me to this leadership opportunity.
NetIQ offerings provide differentiators in Identity and Security management; also, with Linux becoming a much more popular choice across the world today; largely for its cost and reliability benefits over other technologies; and the convergence of security to end-point management solutions makes our solutions under Attachmate, NetIQ, Novell and SUSE a great fit suited to meet the customers' requirements as well as harness the existing growth opportunities in the market today."
