Fremont, CA, August 24, 2021 – ZPE Systems, an innovator of network and critical IT infrastructure management solutions, welcomes Steve Jehring as Vice President of Sales and Business Development. Steve brings more than 30 years of sales, business development, and leadership experience in the industry, which are crucial to accelerating ZPE Systems’ growth.

“Steve has already made a company-wide impact,” says Arnaldo Zimmermann, Co-founder and CEO of ZPE Systems. “He has a great depth of technical and solutions knowledge, which he used to dramatically improve our channel strategy earlier this year. He also brings a wide spectrum of skills in sales, team building, and process implementation, all of which have us excited as we prepare for new growth at ZPE.”

    ZPE Systems is already an established leader of physical data center infrastructure management solutions, and is well positioned to expand business in four new markets including:

    • Critical remote infrastructure management
    • Branch and edge network management
    • Edge computing
    • Secure Service Edge (SSE) onboarding and access

    Steve will be instrumental in developing ZPE’s footprint in these areas. He will work closely with Zimmermann and the ZPE team to create go-to-market strategies, foster customer success, and accelerate channel growth. Steve previously cultivated and led go-to-market strategies for major industry players such as Cyclades, Emerson Network Power, and Vertiv, successfully implementing edge solutions for customers in industries including communications and entertainment, public utilities, and industrial, to name a few. His experience spans many industry verticals and applications, and will help ZPE capture more of the market that relies on critical remote infrastructure, branch networking, and edge computing.

    “I think we’re in a great position to grow, and it’s refreshing to be part of such an innovation-driven culture,” says Steve. “I love helping customers, so naturally I wanted to be part of a team that thinks outside the box when it comes to solving problems. ZPE’s technology solutions are incredibly innovative, and I’m excited to make an impact in retail, healthcare, education, and any industry you can think of.”
