CrowdStrike has appointed cybersecurity industry veteran Roland Stritt as Vice President of Europe Alliances, strengthening its leadership team as the company looks to accelerate partner-led growth and expand its cybersecurity business across the region.
Announced on November 2, 2026, at Fal.Con Europe in Barcelona, the appointment places Stritt in charge of leading CrowdStrike’s European alliances strategy. His priorities will include expanding into new markets, strengthening partner relationships, and helping more organizations consolidate their security operations on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform.
Stritt brings extensive experience in cybersecurity sales and channel leadership. Before joining CrowdStrike, he served as Chief Revenue Officer at FAST LTA. He previously spent more than five years at SentinelOne, where he progressed from EMEA channel leadership to Vice President of Central EMEA Sales. His career also includes channel leadership positions at Rubrik and Palo Alto Networks, where he led the EMEA global systems integrator business.

“Roland has spent decades building and leading high-performing partner organizations across Europe. He knows how to turn ecosystem strategy into market execution at scale,” said Amanda Adams, Senior Vice President, Global Alliances at CrowdStrike.
Stritt highlighted the growing role of partners in Europe’s evolving cybersecurity market, particularly as organizations focus on AI security, security operations center (SOC) transformation, platform consolidation, and managed services.
CrowdStrike’s appointment comes amid strong momentum across its partner ecosystem. The company reported nearly 50% year-over-year growth in its global systems integrator business in Q2 FY27. Its managed security services provider business also expanded from less than $100 million to more than $1.3 billion in total contract value as of FY26.
With Stritt leading European alliances, CrowdStrike aims to build on this momentum by helping partners scale their businesses and supporting wider adoption of its Falcon platform across Europe.
