Intelisys' Rick Ribas

January’s Channel People on the Move

  • Written by Channel
  • January 31, 2016

  • January’s Channel People on the Move

    Last month was one of the biggest for channel people on the move in recent memory.

    Among them: the promotion of a well-known face at Intelisys, a slew of new channel chiefs at a variety of vendors, and a quartet of former Windstream execs taking on new roles with the buyer of their hosted solutions business.

    This list is by no means comprehensive (in fact, we had to whittle this down quite a bit to keep this list from getting out of hand), but it gives you a nice sampling of the new hires and promotions in January who will have a day-to-day impact on the industry or make decisions that will have a trickle-down effect on the channel.

    Cruise through our monthly gallery. You’re sure to see people you know.

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