Baez has also held sales management roles for Belkin in Latin America and for Netgear in Latin America, Asia Pacific and China and Tech Data in the Americas and Europe.

Over the year, Carbon Black has expanded its worldwide channel footprint with more than 90% of all sales driven through the channel. In addition, the company has also ticked several channel milestones including:

● Strengthened partner portfolio with 75 MSSP/IR partners worldwide.
● More than 50% of Carbon Black MSSPs have been featured in the most recent Gartner Magic Quadrant, including IBM and Secureworks
● With our IR partnerships Carbon Black technology has helped perform a combined 340 incident response engagements this year.

“Carbon Black has aligned the right resources, support and expertise behind its Predictive Security Cloud, a truly world-class platform that will enable our partners to quickly add new services and expand their market to drive new revenue and improve margins,” said Baez. “I am thrilled to be joining a team that has proven its investment in both its partner ecosystem and, by extension, to its customers around the world as security becomes mission-critical in today’s business operations.”
