Global channel leader to scale partner ecosystem and help customers adopt modern identity security for the AI era
Dubai — Delinea, the identity security control plane that secures access across human, machine, and AI identities, has appointed Scott Goree as Senior Vice President of Channel and Alliances. In this role, Goree will lead Delinea’s global partner and alliance strategy, including launching the company’s next-generation partner program, expanding its ecosystem, and accelerating partner-led growth worldwide.
Goree brings two decades of experience building and scaling high-impact partner ecosystems across the security and infrastructure industry. Most recently, he served as Senior Vice President of Partners and Commercial Sales at Optiv, where he helped modernise channel strategy and accelerate partner-driven growth. Prior to that, he was the first global channel chief at Skyhigh Security, where he reinvented the partner program and significantly increased channel-sourced revenue.
“Identity security has become a board-level priority for organisations navigating cloud, hybrid, and AI-driven environments,” said Chris Kelly, President at Delinea.
“Partners are essential to helping customers modernise securely and deliver measurable outcomes. Scott has a proven track record of building strong partner ecosystems and driving growth, and his leadership will be instrumental as we scale our partner strategy for the AI era.”
At Delinea, Goree will focus on building a more unified, scalable partner model designed for how customers buy and deploy identity security today. His priorities include strengthening enablement, simplifying engagement, and ensuring partners are equipped to support customers as they modernise privileged access, secure cloud entitlements, and reduce identity-based risk.
“Customers are looking for trusted advisors who understand their environments and can deliver results,” said Goree. “I’m excited to work with our partners to build a program that supports long-term growth, accelerates time to value, and helps organisations adopt modern identity security with confidence.”
Before joining Optiv and Skyhigh Security, Goree held senior channel leadership roles at Nutanix, Pure Storage, and Cisco, where he consistently built high-performing teams and delivered growth that exceeded corporate goals. He has been recognised as a CRN Channel Chief and a Top 50 Channel Influencer by Channel Futures.
