Cornelis Networks is seeking a Vice President of Sales, EMEA to build and scale our presence across one of the most important AI infrastructure markets in the world.

You will activate ecosystems, influence strategic partners, and drive complex, multi-million-dollar engagements from initial customer vision through deployment and long-term expansion. Success will require urgency, creativity, resilience, and the ability to operate effectively against incumbents in the industry.

• Build repeatable go-to-market motions that help scale Cornelis Networks’ presence from early market adoption toward broader regional growth and commercial momentum.

• Build high-impact executive relationships with strategic customers, OEMs, hyperscalers, cloud providers, system integrators, resellers, and ecosystem partners that drive large-scale platform adoption.
