I am pleased to announce that Lene Skov has been named the new Vice President of Worldwide Channel Sales for HPE Aruba Networking. Reporting to me, Lene will continue building upon our unmatched legacy of commitment to our partners by evolving and growing our channel programs with a laser focus on supplying the comprehensive tools and support our partners and the channel community need for success in this changing business environment.
A proven leader, Lene has a strong reputation for driving business results. During her 4-year tenure with Aruba, she has successfully achieved 20% growth every year in the European North Region and has doubled the SaaS and NaaS orders in the region year-on-year.
With broad and deep experience and expertise in software—Lene held various positions in the former HP Software business unit and served as Vice President of Cloud and Software Services at Atea before re-joining HPE in 2019—she is an ideal match for this role as we expand HPE Aruba Networking’s emphasis on software and on as a Service (aaS) solutions.
Further, Lene’s proven proficiency in change management and transformation—and a rare combination of knowing the business from the end user through the partner perspectives—will enable her to support our partners as they strive to help their customers embrace digital transformation, meet changing end user expectations, find ways to be more efficient, understand emerging AI-based technologies, and explore cloud and aaS business models.
As HPE Aruba Networking expands our edge-to-cloud strategy by providing partners and customers with simpler ways to deliver and consume networking-as-a-service (NaaS) with additional Service Pack offerings, growing our investment in Data Center Networking, and integrating new SASE and Private 5G solutions to our overall product portfolio, Lene’s unique skills, commitment to innovative, business outcome-focused solutions, and dedication to HPE Aruba Networking’s 55,000 strong channel community will ensure our partners—and their customers—have the agility necessary for what comes next.
