As the Kingdom progresses boldly forward with Vision 2030, Riverbed – with our market leading Unified Observability and Acceleration solutions – is strongly positioned to be a key enabler of the ongoing digital revolution. I am proud to take on this leadership role at an organisation that is ready to invest and demonstrate its firm commitment to its Saudi customers.”
