security solutions, announces significant growth of its Channel
programme – doubling its revenue-generating European partners to nearly
80 in the last 12 months. The company remains on track to have joint

Driven by EMEA Managing Director Steve Harrington, Masergy is combining
technical excellence with strategic channel support. Harrington
explains, “We’re amplifying partner revenue capabilities and driving new
opportunities in the channel. In order to continue this success, the UK
account management team has doubled, and we’ve bolstered our partner
training programmes. In addition to this investment, I am pleased to
announce that Emily Nerland, industry veteran, has joined Masergy to
head up the UK Channel account management team. Emily has extensive
experience working in the UK Channel for several service providers and
is perfectly positioned to deliver the Masergy vision in the UK.”

industry-leading customer experience to help them achieve their goals.”
Masergy has placed considerable focus on detailed account mapping,
strategic business planning and key joint marketing programs with
Channel partners. Through a series of on-site and virtual training plus
product and technology specific certification programs, partners are
equipped with specialist knowledge and the means to sell and promote
solutions to enterprise customers globally.
Rob Merhej, Director of Channel Sales at AVANT and a Masergy partner
