Infoblox has named longtime Cisco Systems (CSCO) executive Ricardo Moreno as vice president of Worldwide Channels, effective immediately.

As channel chief, Moreno is responsible for driving the network control company’s channel business, which includes partner recruiting, partner development and programming, according to the announcement.

“Ricardo has the skills and experience to build a world-class channel partner program for Infoblox,” said Thorsten Freitag, executive vice president of Worldwide Field Operations at Infoblox, in a statement. “I’m confident Ricardo will drive ‘win-win’ improvements in our channel program, making it easier and more profitable for channel partners to work with us.”

Moreno most recently served as vice president for Cisco’s U.S. and Latin America field partner organization, and also held the role of senior director for strategy, planning and programs during his tenure with the networking company. Some of his career highlights include helping to launch Cisco’s Teaming Incentive Program and building the company’s Latin Americas channel organization.

“I’m excited to join Infoblox, an industry leader in network control, because the company has a great story to share with channel partners and is very committed to a partner-centric model,” said Moreno. “As networks become more complex, Infoblox has a great opportunity to help customers—working with our channel partners globally—to reduce complexity while increasing reliability, efficiency and security.”
