Prior to that, he held numerous senior sales roles, serving both public and private sector customers, for multiple technology companies including Oracle, BEA Systems, PeopleSoft, Backweb Technologies, Netscape, Universal Systems, Inc.  (Integic) and Walker Interactive Systems. Reilly began his career as a surface warfare officer in the U.S. Navy. He received his undergraduate degree from the U.S. Naval Academy and earned his graduate degree from Boston University. 

"It's an exciting time to join Gigamon. The company has an impressive history of providing IT network and security teams at the federal, state, and local levels with solutions that enable complete visibility to help protect critical data," Reilly said. "Gigamon's dedication to excellence is demonstrated by its willingness to voluntarily place its GigaVUE® 2404 through rigorous evaluation to achieve validation by the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) at EAL2+.
