Veteran go-to-market leader brings decades of experience scaling enterprise and
mid-market revenue, partnerships, and services-led growth to Nile’s secure network-as-a-service solutions
SAN JOSE, Calif. – February 23, 2026 – Nile, an industry leader for secure, autonomous Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), today announced the appointment of Frank Wiacek as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). In this role, Wiacek will lead Nile’s global revenue organization, overseeing sales, partnerships, and go-to-market execution as the company accelerates growth of its secure Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solutions.
Wiacek brings more than two decades of experience building and scaling high-performing revenue organizations across enterprise infrastructure, cloud, and services-led businesses including Dell, Red8, 2NDGEAR, and Insight Investments. Notably, he played a central role in building and leading the EMC–Dell partnership, which grew into a $2 billion annual business and became EMC’s number one alliance globally. He also was an early member of EMC’s commercial division, helping scale the business from under $80 million to a multi-billion-dollar organization. And he founded EMC’s mid-market division in the western U.S., growing revenue from zero to more than $200 million in three years.
“Frank has a combination of strategic vision and hands-on execution that will benefit Nile,” said Pankaj Patel, co-founder and CEO of Nile. “He has repeatedly proven his ability to scale revenue, build durable partnerships, and transform go-to-market models to align with how customers buy today. As Nile continues to expand globally, Frank’s leadership will be instrumental in driving our next phase of growth.”
Prior to joining Nile, Wiacek transformed Red8 into a services-led business, growing consulting revenue ten-fold, launching the Harmony infrastructure-as-a-service offering that drove 25% of annual recurring revenue, and more than doubling top-line revenue while increasing net income by 500%.
“What attracted me to Nile is the opportunity to help redefine how enterprise networking is bought, delivered, and operated,” said Frank Wiacek, Chief Revenue Officer at Nile. “Nile’s secure, AI-powered service model aligns perfectly with what customers are asking for: simplicity, predictability, and operational savings. I’m excited to work with this team to scale the business and build long-term value for customers and partners.”
As CRO, Wiacek will focus on expanding Nile’s global footprint, strengthening strategic partnerships, and scaling Nile’s secure, autonomous NaaS for enterprise and mid-market organizations.
