Dan Panesar is a Director UK & Ireland at Hunters.
Dan has a real passion and love for sales and this is reflected by more than 12 very successful years in leading-edge technology sales. He started out in various new business sales roles before progressing into leadership with innovative cyber security start-up Sipera Systems.
Sipera Systems
was the first worldwide market leader in solutions for the rapid, simple and secure adoption of Unified Communications (UC). Many FTSE 100 organisations with thousands of users around the globe deployed Sipera to secure VoIP, IP video, collaboration, messaging and dozens of other high-performance applications. Backed by a number of high-profile VCs including partners Sequoia Capital, Dan recruited and led the EMEA high touch sales team, where he was responsible for driving direct customer engagement and all aspects of the sales strategy. Sipera Systems achieved huge success and in late 2011 was wholly acquired by Avaya Inc., one of the largest Unified Communications and Contact Center software vendors in the world, for a reported 11X multiple.
At Avaya, Dan continued to lead the new Real Time Application and Identity Access Management security division for EMEA. Over the next 4 years Dan and his team delivered significant and consistent YoY double-digit revenue growth. After leaving Avaya at the end of 2015, Dan has been advising and working with a number of UK-based cyber security start-ups through the Cylon - Cyber London accelerator programme.
