From onboarding to upgrading: Joko steps into a new role

Excited to share that I’ve stepped into a new role as Regional Sales Manager at Palo Alto Networks.

Over the span of a year, I’ve gone from onboarding to upgrading — the journey so far has been packed with learning, growth, and more acronyms than I thought possible. From Zero Trust to Endpoint Protection, from deep customer conversations to supporting organizations in securing their journeys— I’ve loved every moment.

Massive thanks to everyone who supported me in this journey, in particular — Bart, Broes, Elisabeth, Michiel, Marcel — you’ve been like my personal security stack: always there to prevent, detect and occasionally redirect me when needed. 😄

At Palo Alto Networks, we don’t just protect infrastructure — we grow people too. Excited for this next chapter, helping our customers stay secure while building strong partnerships across the region.

Let’s keep pushing boundaries (safely, with our Zero Trust & AI-Driven SecOps Platform).
