Hi,

Can you believe another summer has come and gone? As we welcome the colors of fall, there’s so much I’m eager to share with you all.

First up, a round of applause for our Fiscal 2023 Partner Award standouts! A huge shoutout to:

  • Avant for snagging the Partner of the Year. Way to go!
  • Robert Bye from Zenture Partners, our Top Partner Seller. Stellar work, Robert!
  • And Gary Jacobs from Bridgepointe for the Business Impact Award. Your impact is truly felt and appreciated.

For a behind-the-scenes look at our collaboration with Avant, catch my video chat with Drew Lydecker, Avant’s Co-founder & President. It’s always a joy to connect with Drew and discuss the strides we’re making together.

Speaking of new strides, I’m absolutely buzzing with excitement about our latest board addition. We’ve managed to bring onboard none other than the visionary Shailesh Shukla as Aryaka’s Executive Chairman of the Board. With his rich legacy at Google Cloud, Cisco, and Juniper, we’re gearing up for some transformative times ahead. I strongly encourage you to keep scrolling; you wouldn’t want to miss out on the details.

Lastly, though the beach days are behind us, it signals the beginning of our event season! I can’t wait to catch up with many of you at Avant’s Special Forces, the Bridgepointe Tech Summit, and Intelisys Channel Connect this fall. Always a pleasure to share insights, laughter, and perhaps a coffee or two.

Here’s to the incredible journey ahead.

Get to Know Anthony Hansen: Aryaka’s Channel Sales Maestro!

Ever wondered about the force driving our partner enablement in Nevada, Hawaii, and Northern California? Let’s pull back the curtain on Anthony Hansen, our dynamic Channel Sales Director.

Anthony is no stranger to the telco space, having started his journey in 1997.

(Go Beavers!)

One of the gems at Aryaka is our layer 2 backbone, ensuring customer traffic remains unshakable and is swift from start to finish. And it’s not just about tech; Anthony has Robert Meyer by his side, a ten-year Aryaka veteran and a maestro in WAN technologies, SD-WAN, and security.

Exciting times are ahead! With new PoPs in Denver and Atlanta and two more on the horizon in Madrid and Lisbon, Anthony’s enthusiasm is palpable.
