About Robert Fields

I am a public sector sales leader with deep experience driving partner-led IT modernization and cybersecurity outcomes across state, local, and education organizations. I focus on building high-performing teams and scaling ecosystems that bring together cloud providers, integrators, and government leaders to deliver mission-driven results.As Sales Director for Florida Public Sector at Presidio, I lead growth through a partner-centric go-to-market approach, consistently exceeding targets by aligning territory strategy, talent, and strategic partnerships. Previously at Palo Alto Networks, I led Florida SLED cybersecurity initiatives and achieved 175% quota attainment in FY22 through close collaboration with partners and public sector stakeholders.Earlier in my career, I served as a state agency CIO, giving me first-hand insight into government operations, procurement, and mission accountability. That operator perspective shapes my consultative leadership style and allows me to bridge strategy, technology, and execution.I am motivated by solving complex problems at scale and enabling long-term success through durable partnerships, strong teams, and meaningful public sector impact.
