Gupta will be responsible for the strategic direction of Infoblox’s global corporate and product marketing organisation.
In his new role, Gupta will report to Infoblox President and Chief Executive Officer, Jesper Andersen, and drive the worldwide strategies for brand awareness, go-to-market programmes, and demand-generation initiatives.
