Channel People on the Move: Intelisys, Telarus, 8×8, RingCentral

  • Written by Craig Galbraith
  • May 1, 2018
Many of the big master agents – Intelisys, Telarus, TBI, Sandler Partners – got in on the action in April.

April featured a huge number of people getting promoted or taking new jobs in the channel — too many to list here, but we’re going to do our best.

Several were introduced at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. Many were added as part of company expansions — truly exciting for the direction of the channel.

In our gallery below, many of the big master agents – Intelisys, Telarus, TBI, Sandler Partners – get in on the action. And with the unified communications race heating up, you’ll find RingCentral, 8×8 and Broadvoice represented here too.

But those are only about half of the people on the move worth mentioning. We’ve got a total of 19 people you’ll want to get to know.

Don’t forget — we’re always updating our webpage that features people on the move.

Missed last month’s “people” gallery? Click here to see who was on the move in March.
