Danielle Meulenberg

Channel Account Executive, MSP Western Europe, Sophos

Never worked in the IT Industry and rolled into it in 2012 after being an expat for 4 years, living abroad in the USA. This experience gave me more understanding about life and how to live your life with common sense.

I started my career in the Marketing and communication after I finished my degree. Working in the OEM and manufacturing market and never left the B2B field. Successfully delivering and execute all that is related to salesmarketing. This broadened my knowledge on both levels and thus started to switch over to more Sales activities, in which I took the opportunity when I joined Sophos. In the past 7 years I have been working with the Channel and its partners and distributors to gain more experience and give the channel the knowledge they expect from a vendor in Cybersecurity.

As the Channel Account Manager for the MSP’s in the Western Europe region, I am the point of contact for those partners who are willing or already acting as a managed service provider and advise them in their path towards being an MSP in the Channel. Working alongside my Channel colleagues to evolve our partners on all levels within cybersecurity and awareness of the cyberthreats.
