Nile appointed Frank Wiacek as Chief Revenue Officer, placing him in charge of global sales, partnerships, and go-to-market execution as the company expands its secure Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offering.
Wiacek brings more than two decades of experience in enterprise infrastructure and services businesses, including leadership roles at EMC, Dell, Red8, 2NDGEAR, and Insight Investments. At EMC, he helped scale the commercial division from under $80 million to multi-billion-dollar revenue and led the EMC–Dell alliance, which grew into a $2 billion annual business. At Red8, he shifted the company toward a services-led model, increasing consulting revenue tenfold and launching an infrastructure-as-a-service offering that generated 25% of annual recurring revenue.
As CRO, Wiacek will focus on expanding Nile’s global footprint and strengthening strategic partnerships under CEO and co-founder Pankaj Patel.
