Gcore expands with new VP for Digital Native sales

Gcore, recognised for its expertise in AI, cloud, network, and security solutions, has appointed Botir Bayzakov as the Vice President of Sales for Digital Native Verticals.

In this newly established position, Bayzakov will direct the strategy and execution of sales for cloud-native, rapidly growing companies.

Background and experience

With significant experience in sales leadership, Bayzakov has consistently driven revenue growth and achieved notable customer success. His background includes developing customer-centric strategies and leading teams through the rapid integration of security, edge computing, and artificial intelligence.

Bayzakov arrives at Gcore following a successful tenure at Cloudflare, where he was instrumental in building the Digital Native team into a top-performing unit. His previous roles at Splunk, Tableau Software, and Oracle involved spearheading sales initiatives that resulted in substantial revenue increases and scaling high-growth enterprises.

Andre Reitenbach, CEO of Gcore, highlighted the strategic importance of Bayzakov's appointment: "Digital Native companies are building the next generation of the internet, and they expect infrastructure and software that are as fast and ambitious as they are."

He further stated, "We’re delighted to welcome Botir to Gcore. His deep experience across security, AI, and edge compute, along with a truly customer-first mindset, will enable Gcore to provide Digital Native innovators with the capabilities they need to build resilient, future-proof platforms. Botir will play a key role in strengthening our impact in this strategic segment."

Vision for sales leadership

Expressing his vision for the new role, Botir Bayzakov remarked, "Building high-performing teams taught me a simple truth: when you obsess over the customer’s success, growth follows naturally. I am bringing that same 'builder mindset' to Gcore."

He continued by acknowledging the challenges faced by Digital Native companies in the current landscape, which involves a complex convergence of security, edge computing, and AI. By focusing on these needs, Bayzakov aims to develop a sales team that acts as a strategic partner, allowing clients to concentrate on innovation without infrastructure constraints.

"My mission is to build a sales organisation that acts as a strategic extension of the customers' teams, removing infrastructure barriers so they can focus on what they do best: changing the world," he concluded.
