A Year of Growth and Achievement at Palo Alto Networks

Author: Wijendra Gnanendren, Director, SASE GTM MSP/MSSP

I have recently completed my first year at Palo Alto Networks and what a journey it's been! Joining a newly created partner-focused SASE Go-To-Market team, it has been a year of growth, shaping my role, transforming processes, recruiting some of the brightest talents and executing against my goal to drive the SASE technology business with our partners.

Being part of this talented and passionate team has been incredibly rewarding. It’s clear that the heart of the company is its people and its technology. The camaraderie and collaborative individuals along with the technology (which is widely recognised with multiple accolades and needs no introduction), enable the company to disrupt the market and execute on its ambitious goals.

The company’s mission of being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life, really resonated with me, having worked in technology my entire career and having an impact on people, businesses and society. I am a trusted advisor for my partners, who are enabling their customers on their cybersecurity journey which is key in today’s connected world to protect networks, systems, devices, data - and people. 

Looking ahead, my focus continues to be on enabling our partners to disrupt the market with AI-driven platform security solutions and help the company reach greater heights. #GoPaloAltoNetworks
