While at Juniper, Tabor built out a highly effective sales coverage and
vertical market model to drive aggressive growth through the channel and
increased market share across the enterprise.
"From day one, my vision for Xirrus has been to become the 'Juniper
Networks of Wi-Fi,' delivering the highest performing, highest capacity Wi-Fi
architecture to the enterprise and to stake out the high ground against
Cisco(R) and other legacy overlay architectures," said Dirk Gates, CEO and
founder of Xirrus, Inc. "By adding a seasoned executive like Hayley to the
team - who knows how to sell performance and build high performance teams -
we will supercharge our already remarkable growth rate by leveraging her
skills, network, and her proven ability to deliver high growth, open new
markets, and find innovative routes to the enterprise."
"It is a remarkable opportunity to join a company that has grown as fast
as Xirrus in recent years and has achieved such an intense and passionate
customer following," said Tabor. "It's clear to me that only Xirrus was
focused on solving the Wi-Fi performance problem for the enterprise. Coming
from the switching world, as I looked at the competitors in the Wi-Fi market,
I saw that only the Xirrus architecture puts both intelligence and more
radios at the edge, closer to the user, thereby closing the gap between Wi-Fi
and enterprise switching. When you have an innovative architecture like
Xirrus with power and value 3X to 5X greater than anything else in the
industry, I truly believe we're in a great position to make substantial gains
on the industry and in our own revenue."
Previously, Tabor held progressively senior positions at CA focused on
the large enterprise including; Canadian country manager, senior vice
president of sales for the western U.S., and senior vice president & general
manager of Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Alan Amrod drove Xirrus revenue from US$0 to a US$60 million run rate,
and will team with Tabor as the vice president of worldwide marketing and
vice president of education and healthcare sales.
