Alkira, a leading provider of AI-native network infrastructure as a service, has appointed Bruce Hockin as its new international channel director for EMEA and APAC. The appointment comes amidst a significant increase in annual contract value and revenue for the company.
Alkira's channel annual contract value surged by 255% year-over-year, and its revenue doubled from fiscal year 2024 to 2025. This remarkable growth can be attributed to the success of its 100% partner-centric model, with 72% of new customers sourced through its channel.
Bruce Hockin, boasting two decades of industry experience, will lead Alkira's channel growth strategy across EMEA and APAC. His expertise in generating new business and championing emerging technologies is expected to strengthen the partner ecosystem and accelerate shared growth, as noted by Doug Houghton, Alkira's director of channels. Hockin's previous roles at Cequence Security, Picus Security, and Arcserve have equipped him with valuable insights into channel leadership.
Alkira's impressive financial growth, driven by increasing demand for AI-ready networking infrastructure, positions the company well for further expansion. With Bruce Hockin at the helm of its international channel strategy, Alkira is poised to capitalize on the growing market and strengthen its partner ecosystem.
