ESET, the leading provider of internet security solutions to more than 110 million technology users worldwide, today announced Bob Bonneau as Country Manager for Canada. Leading our Canadian operations headquartered in Toronto, Bonneau will manage the company’s channel sales, partnerships, marketing and distribution. He starts in his new role on June 4, 2019.
“I’m truly excited to be returning to the tech sector with a company as progressive and dynamic as ESET,” Bonneau said. “Being a part of the security sector, helping to protect technology users from the enterprise all the way to the consumer in a rapidly growing market is exciting. ESET has a great lineup of security solutions, both from a product and services perspective, and a strong commitment to the Canadian channel so I am very eager to get started.”
After beginning his career in technology at IBM, Bonneau spent a decade with global supply-chain and technology leader Ingram Micro Canada, where he led multiple sales teams covering some of the company’s largest Canadian clients and developed new and innovative approaches to sales strategies and execution.
Bonneau will build on nearly two decades of work in the technology sector and bring a wealth of channel and sales management experience to ESET.
“Bob will be an important asset as we continue to build ESET’s profile and market share in Canada,” said Brent McCarty, President of ESET North America. “His leadership will help us further grow our network of partners along with our presence in key sectors including government, healthcare, education and private sector businesses from SMBs to enterprise clients. We have a successful business in Canada and I believe we have significant opportunity for additional growth. Bob is a great addition that I know the Canadian partners will enjoy working with and I’m really looking forward to his contributions”
