AI Networking Summit
ONUG, the association of enterprise infrastructure and security professionals, today announced that Debbie Holmgren has joined the company as Vice President of Sales
NAPLES, FL, UNITED STATES, July 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ONUG, the 100,000-member community of enterprise infrastructure and security professionals, today announced that Debbie Holmgren has joined as Vice President of Sales, effective July 20, 2026.
Holmgren takes charge of ONUG's revenue organization, overseeing sponsorship sales, partner relationships, and the sales team that supports ONUG's two annual AI Networking Summits along with its year-round Collaborative and Connect programs. She arrives at a crucial time when the enterprise market is demanding more options for building hybrid AI infrastructure, which is reshaping the WAN, IT operations, and private AI stacks. This trend requires a wider representation of vendors to connect with ONUG's practitioners, and Holmgren will spearhead that expansion.
Holmgren has over 15 years of sales and business development leadership experience in the technology media and events sector. She began her career in 2009 as Vice President of Business Development and Partnerships at VentureBeat, and subsequently led sponsorship and content marketing sales at O'Reilly Media across its DevOps, security, and IoT conference portfolios. She later served in senior sales leadership roles at TDWI, a Division of 1105 Media, Inc., where she directed event sponsorship sales, and at NetLine, an Informa Tech Company, where she led B2B demand generation. Most recently, she was Sales Director at Manning Publications, directing corporate sponsorship sales initiatives.
"Debbie brings exactly the combination of sponsor relationship depth and team leadership that ONUG needs as we head into our most ambitious event yet," said Nick Lippis, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of ONUG. "Our sponsors aren't buying booth space; they're investing in access to the IT executives building the Enterprise AI Fabric. Debbie understands how to deliver that value on both sides."
"ONUG sits at the center of the most important conversation in enterprise IT," said Holmgren. "I'm excited to help our sponsors and partners connect with the practitioners defining how AI gets built, secured, and operated at scale."
Holmgren's initial major event will be the ONUG Fall 2026 AI Networking Summit, "Build the Fabric: The Enterprise AI Fabric," taking place October 28-29 in New York City's PENN District.
