Juniper Networks veteran David Small has been recently appointed as McAfee’s VP of channel and commercial business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa region, or EMEA. Small has experience with channel and sales role for Trinagy, XCel Communications, Anite Networks and Olivetti as well as Juniper Networks, where in turn he managed EMEA channel sales and grew the company’s base for the segment by 200 percent.

“McAfee has a very strong product portfolio and an incredible network of partners and alliances across its business,” said Small. “The company has made great strides and has committed itself to making its channel partners profitable. I’m excited to be a part of the leadership team and look forward to growing its EMEA business.”
