Meet the Team
Based in Singapore, Zakir Ahmed joins Sumo Logic as Managing Director of APAC and International Market Strategy. Ahmed will lead the APAC region and provide advisory support for other international geographies.
Ahmed is not a stranger to building business in a hyper-growth SaaS marketplace. He brings significant experience most recently at Kofax, where he was SVP and General Manager for APAC. While there, Ahmed was responsible for driving a new strategic direction and spearheading its transformation while leading the region through rapid growth and expansion into new markets. He brings extensive experience in management, customer acquisition, retention, and sales leadership from a variety of companies, including the NetSuite Business Unit at Oracle, Salesforce.com, TechnologyOne Corp, and Microcell.
Steve Doyle has been named SVP of Global Sales Strategy and Operations and leads a global team spanning from North America to United Kingdom, Australia, and India. Doyle’s team works to implement the structure, standards, consistency, and processes to help accelerate growth as the business scales.
Prior to joining Sumo Logic, Doyle led global strategic initiatives at Cisco. He spent 16 years in a variety of roles, including leading Global Renewals Operations, where he built a global team of more than 50 professionals to support an expanding business. Doyle also led strategy and planning for Cisco Americas, where he led all sales operations functions including compensation, planning, and forecasting.
Timm Hoyt takes the reins in his new role as SVP of Global Channels and Alliances. A technology industry veteran with a track record of delivering robust, product integration and go-to-market partner strategy, Hoyt will focus on driving market leadership by advancing global partnerships for Sumo Logic. Hoyt brings deep international operations and leadership to the team, with more than 20 years of experience from posts at PagerDuty, Druva, Atlantis Computing, Skyera, and Brocade.
At PagerDuty, Hoyt represented the Global Partner and Alliances organization, establishing five key areas of the practice: Cloud Providers, Channels, Ecosystem Alliances, Managed Service Providers, and System Integrators. Similarly at Druva, Hoyt ran the Global Partner and Alliances organization, while under his stewardship, annual recurring revenue accelerated by transforming the route-to-market into a partner-first sales motion that drove growth, predictability, and durability.
Russell Rosa is the SVP of Americas Sales. Rosa will ensure scale throughout North America and drive strategy in emerging markets like Canada and Latin America.
