Vectra AI, an Artificial Intelligence-driven threat detection and response for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises, has announced the appointment of Taj El-khayat as MD for growth markets. El-khayat has more than two decades of experience bringing high-value technology platforms and solutions to market through a keen eye for the future of digitisation and human support.
“With digital transformation skyrocketing in both Southern Europe and METNA, we are thrilled to welcome Taj to the Vectra team as we support a growing number of customers,” said Willem Hendrickx, Chief Revenue Officer, Vectra. “Our platform secures organisations against the modern threat landscape by fitting the unique needs of any cloud or on-premises environment, an invaluable tool with ransomware attacks like Okta, Nvidia and RagnarLocker making recent headlines. Taj will be instrumental to our growth strategy in these key regions and beyond.”
At Vectra, El-khayat will build on the company’s presence in Southern Europe, Middle East, Turkey and North Africa, and continued commitment to serving the need for resilient threat detection and response technologies within the regions. He will be responsible for driving growth through transformative and adaptable go-to-market and sales strategies. Before Vectra, El-khayat was the regional director, MENA at Citrix, where he led strategic growth initiatives in the region that led to more than doubling the business during his tenure.
