This week in Meet the Chiefs we sat down with Rafael Garzon, Managing Director, Americas Channel at Citrix (CTXS), to learn more about the man behind the networking company's partner organization. Garzon is responsible for more than 2,000 of Citrix's partners in both North and South America, and oversees the company's go-to-market strategy in both regions.

Garzon joined Citrix in 2006 and has held several leadership roles in the company's Latin America and Carribbean team, including channel development, education and readiness and as director of Sales for northern Latin America. He also spent a number of years at Nortel Networks before joining Citrix.
