In this week's Meet the Chiefs we got to chat with Partha Panda, vice president of Strategy and Business Development at cybersecurity vendor Trend Micro. As channel chief, Panda manages Trend Micro's strategic alliances and works to help the company's global network of channel partners deliver security solutions to customers.

Panda has held several different executive-level positions throughout his career in the IT industry, including manager and senior manager positions at CMC Ltd. and Entrust, respectively. He most recently served as vice president of Client Services at Third Brigade before transitioning to his role at Trend Micro in 2009.
