Dave Feeney – BT Account Director   dfeeney@fortinet.com

Dave has been in the IT and Cyber security space for over 20 years working for startup organizations like Brightmail and Webroute in the early noughties. This was followed up by an 8-year stint at Symantec and then nearly 6 years at Check point before joining Fortinet in 2021. These last three roles are highlighted by a distinct focus on account management and development into the UK’s largest Telco Operators.

“Working in this sector and focusing on a Telco operator is both diverse and very challenging, but also very rewarding. Telco operators have responsibility for core national infrastructure whilst also constantly evolving and adapting to new customer and market nuances. BT remains a dominant Telco Service Provider with recognizable brands and a great track record of delivery in UK markets and abroad. I am heavily focused on trying to deliver high value, sustainable, cost-effective security solutions that support business growth and change, whether that is in Physical devices, private cloud, public cloud or added value services.
