Gigamon Appoints Damian Wilk to Lead EMEA Emerging Markets

Gigamon, a leading deep observability company, has announced the appointment of Damian Wilk as General Manager for EMEA Emerging Markets, as it continues to accelerate growth across the region.

Organisations in EMEA Emerging Markets are navigating an increasingly complex, AI-driven landscape that has left many vulnerable. In response, deep observability has become mission-critical for securing and managing today’s complex hybrid cloud infrastructure. According to the Gigamon 2025 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey, 89 per cent of Security and IT leaders agreed that deep observability is a fundamental component of cloud security. The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline enables organisations to secure and manage hybrid cloud infrastructure by efficiently delivering network-derived telemetry directly to cloud, security and traditional observability tools — helping to eliminate blind spots, optimise network traffic, and improve the efficiency of existing tools by up to 90 per cent.

New Leadership to Strengthen Regional Cybersecurity Expertise

Based in Dubai, Damian Wilk will lead Gigamon’s expansion efforts across the Middle East, Africa and Southern Europe, enhancing the company’s ability to help regional customers gain deep observability across their hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Wilk will focus on accelerating customer growth, reinforcing the channel ecosystem, and driving momentum around the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline.

This leadership appointment reflects a concerted effort to scale enterprise customer engagement in complex, high-growth markets through refined go-to-market strategies and robust regional partnerships. The deep observability market grew by 17 per cent year-on-year in 2024, highlighting rising demand for advanced visibility and security solutions across hybrid cloud infrastructures.

“Damian is a dynamic sales leader with a strong understanding of customer needs and an unwavering commitment to delivering results,” stated Mark Coates, Vice President, EMEA at Gigamon. “His appointment underscores our strategic focus on EMEA’s Emerging Markets and reinforces our commitment to delivering sustained growth and enhanced value to customers and partners across these important regions.”

“As organisations across EMEA’s Emerging Markets face an increasingly complex threat landscape, Gigamon is uniquely positioned to help them achieve complete visibility and insights across all data in motion within their hybrid cloud environments,” said Wilk. “We are dedicated to providing powerful, customer-focused solutions that drive meaningful outcomes, and with the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, that’s precisely what we are delivering.”

Wilk brings over 20 years of enterprise sales leadership experience across the UK and EMEA, having held senior roles at Rubrik, Veritas Technologies, Good Technology and Cisco, where he led regional sales teams and strategic customer initiatives within the cybersecurity and data management sectors.
