THE ROLE:
IGEL is seeking a commercially driven, transformational VP Channel Sales, Americas to accelerate growth by transforming its partner ecosystem into a proactive engine for new-customer acquisition, enterprise expansion, and measurable revenue growth.
This executive will lead IGEL’s Americas channel strategy, building on the company’s position in End User Computing (EUC) and secure digital workspaces while expanding its reach across cybersecurity, cyber resilience, and business continuity and disaster recovery (BC&DR).
The successful candidate will bring established executive relationships across leading national solution providers, cybersecurity specialists, distributors, and strategic technology partners.

BC&DR New-Customer Acquisition: Leveraging IGEL’s endpoint resilience and recovery capabilities to establish new customer relationships, engage security stakeholders, and accelerate new-logo pipeline generation.
BC&DR Enterprise Expansion: Expanding IGEL’s footprint within existing enterprise customers across additional users, devices, locations, business units, and recovery use cases.
This is a hands-on executive leadership opportunity for a channel leader who combines strategic vision, cybersecurity market credibility, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to turn partner relationships into measurable business outcomes.
