About the Partnership
Fortinet has established a groundbreaking partnership with Romain Attanasio, a distinguished French professional skipper, to represent the Fortinet brand during the epic Vendée Globe 2024 Challenge. The Vendée Globe is a grueling solo circumnavigation of the globe that forbids docking or external aid. Beginning and ending in Les Sables d'Olonne, France, this race is truly the Everest of the Oceans. Romain Attanasio will also participate in various pre-event races aboard his specially branded Fortinet-Best Western IMOCA racing yacht, equipped with cutting-edge foils to enhance performance. Fortinet's Chief Revenue Officer, Patrice Perche, expressed excitement over this collaboration, emphasizing the shared values and objectives of the partnership. The alignment between Fortinet's commitment to secure the digital world and the technological advancements reshaping the sport of sailing sets the stage for thrilling experiences for fans, employees, and customers.
