October's Channel People on the Move
  • October’s Channel People on the Move

    October proved to be a big month for new hires — at master agents and tech distributors in particular.

    WTG hired a new VP of sales operations. ScanSource divvied up one part of its business between a pair of co-presidents. And Intelisys named a senior manager for strategic partner development — just to name a few.

    Our image gallery includes new sales and channel leaders, VPs, presidents and more. Some have a day-to-day impact on the channel, while others make decisions that affect partners over the long haul.

    This list is by no means comprehensive, but it gives you a nice sampling of the new hires and promotions in October. You’re sure to see people you know.
