Riverbed Announces New Leaders to Spearhead and Accelerate Growth

  • Written by: Agnes Odwyer

Riverbed®, The Digital Performance Company™, today announced the promotions of two existing leaders to SVP, overseeing the two newly formed divisions of the company in its international markets. Elie Dib is promoted to SVP, Riverbed International for Riverbed’s Digital Networking business; and Conor Molloy to SVP, International for Riverbed’s Aternity division. Both executives will report to Andy Elder, Chief Sales Officer at Riverbed.

 

The promotion of Dib and Molloy follows the formation of a new Aternity division, and the company’s continued commitment to drive innovation and greater focus for its Digital Networking business. The Aternity sales division will focus on capitalising on the tremendous growth and innovation opportunities in Digital Experience Management (DEM), which includes Riverbed’s End-User Experience Monitoring (EUEM) and Application Performance Management (APM) solutions. Riverbed’s Digital Networking business, which continues to gain market momentum due to significant advancements in the product portfolio, will continue to focus on innovation and best-in-class services in the company’s SD-WAN portfolio, application acceleration for new consumption models (SaaS, Cloud and Mobile), and Network Performance Management (NPM).

 

Commenting on the new leadership, Andy Elder, Riverbed’s Chief Sales Officer, said: “Riverbed has two strong and distinct market opportunities – our foundational and leading Digital Networking solutions and our high-growth Digital Experience Management (DEM) software business. As a result, I’m delighted to announce well-deserved promotions that strengthen the focus of Riverbed’s leadership team in our international markets. The promotions recognise two talented individuals, Elie Dib and Conor Molloy, who through their tenure at Riverbed, have demonstrated exemplary leadership qualities, a significant sales track record, and deep expertise in their fields. I’m confident in their continued success to deliver business performance, drive deeper engagements with our customers and generate new business opportunities for Riverbed across our international markets.”

 

Dib and Molloy will lead their respective sales teams to offer best-in-class solutions, delivering greater focus and deeper expertise in Riverbed’s core offerings, enabling the opportunity for more breakthrough innovations for customers while increasing growth and profitability for the business. Dib has held several roles at Riverbed, including the positions of Managing Director for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa (METNA) and more recently as Regional Vice President for EMEA Emerging Markets. Molloy’s tenure at Riverbed has spanned over six years, initially as UK Sales Director and more recently as Northern Europe Sales Director.


Elie Dib, Riverbed’s newly appointed SVP, Riverbed International, comments, ”With evolved and exciting new use cases for application acceleration (for SaaS, Cloud and Mobile), our leadership position in the Gartner NPM MQ, and our recent SD-WAN partnership with Versa Networks to deliver enterprise-grade SD-WAN, there is a massive opportunity to grow this business and lead in the international markets. This is an exciting time in Riverbed’s growth journey, and I look forward to cementing our position as market leaders.”

 


Conor Molloy, SVP Riverbed International, Aternity, at Riverbed, adds, “I’m excited and privileged to be leading one of two very strong and unique market opportunities around our End-User Experience Management (EUEM) and Application Performance Monitoring solutions. With a start-up mindset, the Aternity division will bring a new level of innovation and agility to the industry that will benefit our customers. We believe organisations that are investing in EUEM are quickly recognising how vital visibility is within their ever-increasingly complex IT environments. This is why our Aternity division is perfectly positioned to help businesses measure the digital experience of users, and to ensure their digital initiatives are successful. This new division will enable us to further accelerate this growth and market momentum.”

10 Startups Will Take on 10 Challenges to Prove Who Is Australia’s Most Investible Startup

  • Written by: Lauren Trucksess

 The Investible Games returns to Sydney this October


Is your startup ready for seed investment? This is your chance to prove it!


Early-stage investment firm Investible is now assessing startups applications for The Investible Games, which will return to Sydney for the second time on October 31 and November 1 with the support of Digivizer, Australia’s leading digital and social analytics technology company and Fishburners, Australia’s largest coworking community of tech startups.


The Investible Games is Investible’s proprietary two-way, due diligence event designed to challenge early stage companies toward seed investment.


Over two days, founder teams take part in 10 unique challenges that stress-test critical aspects of their business and receive visibility, guidance and feedback from Investible and its network of angel investors and industry experts.  


In less than 48 hours, startups gain insights that would typically require months of investor meetings to learn and have the opportunity to advance their business model, access multiple investors and accelerate the capital raising process – free of charge and without giving up equity.


Only 10 startups are invited to compete in each event with the top performers winning additional investor meetings and mentoring sessions. More than 35 startups, selected from a pool of more than 300 businesses, have participated in the Investible Games across Australia and Asia to date.


Inspace XR, which develops virtual reality solutions for architects and engineers, was one of the participants in the inaugural Investible Games Sydney event. It then went on to raise US$750,000 in a round led by Investible.


“It was great to be thrown into back-to-back challenges at the Investible Games, each offering lessons in a key area of the business. It helped us successfully close our seed round quickly as we had the support of Investible and other investors who participated in the event,” said Justin Liang, CEO of Inspace XR.


Each of the Investible Games challenges is based upon the Investibility Index, the due-diligence methodology that Investible has developed and used to achieve an unrealised internal rate of return of 67.2% from investments in more than 70 companies including Canva, Ipsy and Brandless. Participating investors gain insight into Investible’s process and have the opportunity to evaluate startups under unique circumstances.


“Most investment events focus on pitching, so investors often see startups who have had a lot of time to prepare. With the Investible Games, you get to see top founders reacting in the moment and under  pressure. It gives you a good sense of how they operate and respond and how well they know their business. If you want to get the real insights into these startups, I highly recommend participating in the Investible Games,” said Adam Seccombe, angel investor and member of the judging panel at Investible Games Melbourne 2019.


Elisa-Marie Dumas, Head of Programs and Partners at Investible added:


“This is not a traditional accelerator, hackathon or a pitch day. In fact, it’s not like anything the startup ecosystem has seen before. We’ve designed the Investible Games to support our due diligence process and give early-stage founders what they need most - expert feedback, meetings with top investors and the opportunity for capital.”


The Investible Games Sydney is open to startups that have received less than $1M in funding to date.
