People on the Move


Channel People on the Move: Fusion Connect, Intelisys, TPx

  • Written by Craig Galbraith
  • March 2, 2020
We've also got moves at Avant, Broadvoice, AireSpring, Ingram Micro and more.

We know you like to see the movers and shakers of the channel, so we’ve included a record 33 in an edition celebrating the unofficial start to spring.

The master agents were busy, including Intelisys, which has a new president; TBI, which hired a new cloud communications architect and marketing director; and Avant, which made new hires in a variety of areas.

Also of note were new hires at Fusion Connect, which recently emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and TPx, wich saw one top exec step down and another well-known leader take his place as channel boss.

When you’re done clicking through the gallery below, you can catch up with last month’s edition featuring movers and shakers at Vonage, Telarus and Star2Star.  And if you’re like me, and you don’t like waiting, remember that you can always see who’s on the move anytime – and not wait for this gallery each month – by visiting our webpage dedicated to the topic.

Follow executive editor @Craig_Galbraith on Twitter.
