Channel sales veteran Bob Kilbride recently joined AI-driven solutions provider Virtana as Vice President of Channels and Alliances. 

Prior to joining Virtana, Bob was head of channel sales for cyber security startup Perimeter 81 where he launched a successful partner program and increased year-over-year (YoY) channel revenue by 300%. Previous to that, Bob spent four and a half years at CloudHealth Technologies where he built and managed a worldwide ecosystem of cloud managed service providers (MSPs) that leveraged the CloudHealth platform to deliver differentiated cloud management solutions to enterprise clients.
