Schlieren, January 28, 2025 – Exclusive Networks Switzerland AG has a new managing director: Marissa Damerau will take over the position
on March 18, 2025, succeeding Roger Bieler, who left the company at the end of last year. The management team is thus gaining a proven channel and sales expert: with more than 25 years of experience in various management positions, she brings with her extensive expertise in partner management in both the SME and enterprise markets, as well as in the areas of cybersecurity and networking. During the transition, the Swiss subsidiary will be managed on an interim basis by Peter Schoderböck, General Manager Exclusive Networks Austria.
Most recently, Marissa Damerau worked as District Sales Manager Public Sector at Palo Alto Networks, where she was responsible for strategic market development and managing the sales team. Prior to that, she was Chief Customer Officer and a member of the management board at Boll Engineering, where she was able to build up an extensive network in the Swiss market in recent years.
“We are delighted to have gained an experienced leader in Marissa Damerau to head Exclusive Networks in Switzerland,” explains Marcus Adä, General Manager of Exclusive Networks Germany and Regional Manager DACH. ”Her extensive knowledge of the Swiss market and the distribution and vendor landscape makes her the ideal person to help us achieve our growth targets.”
“I am very pleased to be part of Exclusive Networks and to further strengthen and expand our market position in Switzerland together with the local team and our international experts. As a partner of choice, we will support our vendors and partners with decisive competitive advantages in winning the race in the market and further consolidate our position as a value-adding partner for first-class security solutions,” says Marissa Damerau.
Damerau is no stranger to the Swiss team: in her previous position at Palo Alto Networks, she already had contact with the Exclusive Networks colleagues. The value-added distributor is one of the firewall pioneer’s largest partners, and the two have just celebrated 16 years of successful partnership.
