Last week, we announced the appointment of Dick Faulkner as Vice President of Worldwide Sales at EiQ Networks. Faulkner will support the next stage of the company’s growth and its goal of reaching $100 million in worldwide sales.

Faulkner brings exceptional high tech sales leadership experience and a proven track record of building high-performance sales teams. As Vice President of Sales and Channels of the Americas for Sophos, Inc. he was instrumental in leading the sales team to sustained annual bookings in excess of $100 million while building a world class sales and channel organization.

Faulkner was also responsible for Sales and Channel Sales in the Americas for Hexis Cyber Solutions, an automated threat remediation platform. Under his guidance, the team signed multiple new partners and customers, and achieved significant first year billings growth. He also held senior leadership positions at Genuity Solutions, GTE Internetworking and BBN Planet.

We’re very excited to have Dick on board as we continue our growth. We also recently announced our plans to move our office headquarters to Boston’s Post Office Square and add more than 25 new positions in sales, sales engineering and cyber security engineering in 2015.
