"We are pleased to have Jalajel on board," said Anis Krichen, regional manager, Opennet MEA. "His appointment is key to our expansion plans and will help us to educate and tap into the "as-yet" untapped enterprise segment with out new Red Hat solutions in the systems and storage management segment."
The ambitious Dubai-based, Tunisian company has assigned Jalajel to handle its Business Development Department where he will be responsible for developing and enhancing the relations directly with the end-users as well as working closely with Opennet's channel partners to deliver the best-of-breed Red Hat technologies.
Jalajel said,
"The Middle East markets have a huge growth potential. There are still many end-users and system integrators who are still not aware of the advantages of deploying Red Hat solutions. My challenge is to change this image and educate them about what Red Hat can offer from different technologies, including unique solutions that cover the system management and the storage management."
Jordanian by birth, Jalajel has a total of seven years' experience in the Middle East with four of these spent in Saudi Arabia and UAE markets, especially with government accounts. This will be a strong asset in his new role in working with channel partners to meet the needs of enterprises in each of the key market segments.
Jalajel said, "I really believe that Opennet MEA is the right business partner for resellers and end-users in providing the best Linux technology, Red Hat presently ranked second among the 100 fastest-growing companies in US as reported in Business 2.0 and Forbes Magazine."
Prior to joining Opennet, Jalajel held the position of Channel Product Manager with Fortinet, pioneer and leading provider of multi-threat solutions, since July 2006. He was in charge of the products throughout KSA, Levant and North Africa regions. Jalajel was based in Saudi Arabia between August 2005 and July 2006 while working as Territory Manager for the KSA and Levant markets with Al Masa IT Distribution.
