There was no shortage of new hires and promotions in July; in fact, we really had to whittle our list down to make it user-friendly.

This edition of Channel People on the Move includes a shake-up in leadership at Verizon, the promotion of a well-known figure at MegaPath, a new channel chief for Rackspace and people taking new roles at Intelisys, Ingram Micro and Nitel. And that’s not the half of it — literally.

As usual, we not only feature the channel chiefs and channel managers making daily decisions that impact partners’ businesses, but also the top executives whose choices create trickle-down effects on the channel.
