New Partner and Alliances Manager at Red Hat

René Reiter will join the Red Hat team in Austria as Partner and Alliances Manager and will be primarily responsible for the further development of business with partners.

The WU Vienna graduate has gained a wide range of experience in the domestic IT industry in the past. He worked for many years at IBM in Austria and Germany in various sales and management positions. He then moved to Microsoft, where he held the position of Service Sales Manager. In 2020, he began his career at Red Hat as Partner Account Manager.

Reiter is looking forward to his new position at Red Hat with great pleasure and optimism and wants to continue the successful path of the last few years, but also open a new chapter of cooperation with partners in Austria.

The principles of open source have prevailed. Many of the current innovations in areas such as hybrid cloud, edge computing and IT automation, and therefore the basis of future digitalization, are based on open source projects. This means that the basis of the Red Hat business model, namely open source as a central cornerstone, has arrived in society.
