People on the Move


Avant's Rick Reed

Channel People on the Move: Windstream, Avant, TBI, More

  • Written by Craig Galbraith
  • April 2, 2018
In terms of people taking new jobs and get promoted, March came in like a lion ... and went out like one too.

In terms of people taking new jobs and get promoted, March came in like a lion … and went out like one too.

This edition of our monthly Channel People on the Move feature includes Avant’s hire of a former AT&T and Channel Partners exec; Windstream’s addition of a regional sales vice president; and TBI and MetTel both naming new leadership who previously worked at — Windstream. And that’s just getting started.

Airespring promoted one of its founders to even bigger role, and Avaya hired its first chief revenue officer.

Those are just five of the 17 hires and promotions that follow in the gallery below. They are the people making day-to-day decisions that impact the channel and the executives who make those hires.

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 February.

Follow executive editor @Craig_Galbraith on Twitter.
