August’s Channel People on the Move

  • Written by Channel
  • September 1, 2016
This edition of Channel People on the Move features CenturyLink, Vonage, Intelisys, WTG and Ingram Micro.
  • August’s Channel People on the Move

    Loyal Channel Partners readers know they can find the industry’s people on the move here on the first of every month.

    We try not to disappoint, so we’ve once again assembled a gallery of the biggest new hires and promotions in the telecom and IT indirect channels from August.

    There were some big ones last month, including new channel leaders at CenturyLink and Vonage. And making personnel announcements in conjunction with Channel Partners Evolution proved to be a popular move.

    Our image gallery includes new channel chiefs, other sales leaders and various strategic decision makers from regional managers all the way up to CEOs. Some have a day-to-day impact on the channel, while others make decisions that affect partners more over the long haul.

    This list is by no means comprehensive, but it gives you a nice sampling of the new hires and promotions in August. You’re sure to see people you know.
