Fortinet appoints country manager for PH

Fortinet, provider of cybersecurity solutions, has appointed Mario Luis Castaneda (Louie) to lead Fortinet Philippines as Country Manager. Castaneda has three decades of experience in the IT industry and will take charge of Fortinet’s overall business operations, growing market share in the Philippines.

Prior to Fortinet, Castaneda has worked in senior sales and channel management roles in global technology companies like Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and Fujitsu. He was also Country Manager of Cisco Philippines.
