Hexnode, an enterprise software division of Mitsogo Inc., has tapped Nisha Holt as Head of Americas, Strategic Partnerships.

She will be tasked with leading the development of Hexnode’s channel ecosystem across the region, working with technology providers, systems integrators (SIs), and service partners.

“I am thrilled to be joining Hexnode as the Head of Americas, Strategic Partnerships,” Holt said. “This is a pivotal time in the UEM market, and what brought me to Hexnode is the opportunity to build and grow the Americas partner ecosystem and truly make an impact on Hexnode’s business. I look forward to celebrating our shared success.”

Nisha Holt brings 25 years of channel leadership experience

Holt’s appointment places a leader behind the partners working to deliver the implementation, integration, and ongoing services customers need as they adopt Hexnode UEM, XDR, and IdP together.

She will be focused on turning individual partner relationships into a coordinated network that customers can rely on from first deployment onward.

“Partners are how we scale in the Americas, and the companies that win this market are the ones that make partners successful, not just transact through them,” said Carl Carozza, VP of Enterprise Sales, Americas at Hexnode. “Nisha has spent 25 years building partner programs at scale and knows what systems integrators and service providers need from a vendor. We’re delighted she’s bringing that to Hexnode.”

Holt brings over 25 years of experience in sales, channels, and alliances, most recently serving as Head of Americas Channel Sales at Check Point Software Technologies.

Prior to that, she held alliance and channel roles at Symantec, Blue Coat Systems, and Websense.

Her role at Hexnode will involve developing joint offerings with partners, expanding partner enablement, and coordinating co-selling and co-marketing across the region.

Hexnode expands MSP offerings with agentic AI

Holt’s appointment also comes as Hexnode expands its technology portfolio to help MSPs manage increasingly complex customer environments, creating opportunities for partners to build services around integrated IT and security operations.

The company recently introduced Hexnode Synapse, an agentic AI orchestration layer designed to coordinate service requests, alerts, and system events across IT and security tools. The platform works most extensively with Hexnode’s unified endpoint management (UEM), extended detection and response (XDR), and identity provider (IdP) offerings.

“For MSPs, the challenge is not managing one environment, it is scaling consistently across hundreds of different customer environments,” said Rachana Vijayan, EVP and CMO of Hexnode.

Synapse is designed to address that challenge by coordinating AI agents, approvals, and system actions across multiple tools, reducing the need for technicians to move manually between consoles.

For Hexnode’s channel partners, the expanding portfolio could create opportunities to deliver integrated endpoint management, security, and automation services. Holt’s focus on joint offerings, partner enablement, and co-selling could help partners bring those capabilities to customers as Hexnode builds its Americas ecosystem.

“If you look at the real work of IT, nothing ever happens inside just one system,” said Apu Pavithran, CEO and founder of Hexnode.
