Trimble will be responsible for developing and managing 8x8s emerging channel operators and will report to Kim Niederman, the companys senior vice president of worldwide sales.

Don is a top performing sales executive who brings a wealth of channel knowledge and expertise to 8×8,” Niederman said.  Im thrilled to welcome him to 8×8 as we implement the next phase of our enterprise sales initiative which is defined, in part, by the creation of an indirect sales model designed to deliver significant revenue opportunities for our channel partners.”
