Hexnode has appointed Nisha Holt as Head of Americas, Strategic Partnerships, a role covering the company's largest market.

She will lead the development of Hexnode's channel ecosystem across the Americas, working with technology providers, systems integrators and service partners. Her remit includes developing joint offerings, expanding partner enablement, and coordinating co-selling and co-marketing across the region.

The appointment comes as Hexnode looks to build a more connected partner network for customers using its endpoint management, security and identity products together. Partners are playing a growing role in implementation, integration and ongoing services for customers adopting Hexnode UEM, XDR and IdP.

The role is intended to align partner strategy more closely with customer requirements and the company's regional growth plans, while bringing together work across Hexnode's sales, marketing and product teams.

Holt joins with more than 25 years of experience in sales, channels and alliances. Most recently, she served as Head of Americas Channel Sales at Check Point Software Technologies.

Earlier in her career, she held alliance and channel roles at Symantec, Blue Coat Systems and Websense. CRN has also included her in its Channel Chiefs list and Women of the Channel Power 100.

The Americas is Hexnode's biggest market, making partner coverage in the region central to its support for enterprise customers. The company wants those relationships to extend beyond sales into deployment and operational support.

Partner Focus

Hexnode's products span unified endpoint management, extended detection and response, and identity provision. As customers adopt more of that portfolio, partners are increasingly providing the expertise needed to fit those products into existing environments.

That makes partner enablement a core part of Holt's brief. The aim is to help regional partners understand where Hexnode's products fit within customer systems and where their own services can support adoption.

Carl Carozza, Vice President of Enterprise Sales, Americas at Hexnode, said Holt's experience would help deepen that work with the channel.

"Partners are how we scale in the Americas, and the companies that win this market are the ones that make partners successful, not just transact through them. Nisha has spent 25 years building partner programs at scale and knows what systems integrators and service providers need from a vendor. We're delighted she's bringing that to Hexnode," said Carl Carozza, Vice President of Enterprise Sales, Americas at Hexnode.

The role also reflects a broader shift in how software suppliers work with channel organisations on larger customer deployments. In enterprise accounts, implementation and integration often require closer coordination between vendors and specialist partners over a longer period.

Holt will work to bring separate partner relationships into a more coordinated regional ecosystem. That includes collaboration around shared customer opportunities and support across different stages of deployment.

Americas Role

Her appointment creates a dedicated executive role for strategic partnerships in a region where customer adoption is increasingly linked to services delivered by outside partners. The structure is designed to connect product adoption with the service and integration work needed to put those tools into use.

Holt said the timing was important both for the market and for Hexnode's partner-led expansion.

"I am thrilled to be joining Hexnode as the Head of Americas, Strategic Partnerships. This is a pivotal time in the UEM market, and what brought me to Hexnode is the opportunity to build and grow the Americas partner ecosystem and truly make an impact on Hexnode's business. I look forward to celebrating our shared success," said Holt.
