Riverbed, a company in unified observability, announced key updates to its GCC leadership team as it looks to further expand its market share in the rapidly emerging Unified Observability space, while further strengthening its position as the leader in enterprise Acceleration. The company has promoted Ramzi Bsaibes to Regional Sales Director, Gulf and appointed Mohammed Kiki as its new Regional Director for Saudi Arabia.
Mena Migally, Regional Vice President, Emerging EMEA at Riverbed said “Throughout 2022, we have enabled regional organisations to take back control of their IT environments by transforming overwhelming amounts of data into actionable insights that help drive performance and improve digital experiences. As organisations now come under pressure to optimise every investment, this same insight will empower them to unlock the full potential of their IT infrastructure. With their in-depth experience, both Ramzi and Mohammed will offer our enterprise customers the expert guidance they need to achieve this impactful outcome.”
Bsaibes has worked in the regional IT business for more than 18 years, holding positions in project management, technical sales, and enterprise sales. He has a track record of assisting major businesses and governmental organisations in a variety of industries, including Security and Defense, Oil and Gas, and BFSI, to identify and implement technologies that best support their corporate goals. Bsaibes most recently worked at Riverbed as a Senior Sales Manager, where he created a growth plan for the Gulf markets and actively developed, reorganised, and oversaw the organization’s regional sales team.
Ramzi Bsaibes, Regional Sales Director, Gulf, at Riverbed said “In my new role, my vision is to capitalise on the tremendous opportunity presented to Riverbed in the Gulf region with a focus on driving adoption of our market-leading Unified Observability portfolio, Riverbed Alluvio. Together with my team, I will look to execute this growth strategy while emphasising four core values – customer centricity, accountability, teamwork, and operational excellence.”
Riverbed has named Mohammed Kiki as the new Regional Director for Saudi Arabia while Moueen Zahreddine takes on the role of Strategic Accounts Director, responsible for serving prestigious customers in the Middle East. Kiki, with more than 21 years of experience in managing operations for leading technology companies in Saudi Arabia, will be in charge of driving the company’s growth in the Kingdom. He will lead the local team’s expansion by making strategic hires and strengthening its channel ecosystem. Kiki’s previous experience in managing operations and holding leadership positions at technology companies such as Citrix, Oracle, NetApp, and Cisco has equipped him with valuable experience in driving the adoption of best-of-breed technologies that have a significant impact on Saudi Arabia’s digital landscape.
Commenting on his appointment, Mohammed Kiki, Regional Director for Saudi Arabia, Riverbed said “The incredible appetite for digital innovation in Saudi Arabia has very recently been evidenced with a record-breaking turnout at LEAP this year. As the Kingdom progresses boldly forward with Vision 2030, Riverbed – with our market-leading Unified Observability and Acceleration solutions – is strongly positioned to be a key enabler of the ongoing digital revolution. I am proud to take on this leadership role at an organisation that is ready to invest and demonstrate its firm commitment to its Saudi customers.”
