Intelisys Vet Named LogMeIn’s Vice President for Global Channel Sales
…and really get myself situated. And then depending on the time frame, once I get acclimated already, I’m ready to hit the road, which would be nice.
CP: What do you hope to have accomplished a year from now in this role?
RR: I think we can easily double business. The only thing getting in our way would be a desire and I think we have the desire. If we didn’t, it would be an issue. The whole pandemic is accelerating to where we would expect things to be maybe in 2022 an it’s brought them front and center now so a lot of the targets that are down the street we’re actually realizing are going to happen much sooner than later. And once we get the message out about some of these products … no one else in our channel even has offers like our LastPass and Rescue, and things like that. So once word gets out that partners can start offering some of these products, it’s just going to explode on us.
CP: Does that accelerated pace and demand create additional challenges in terms of keeping up?
RR: That would be a good problem. Fortunately we had actually some great calls this morning already … and some of our product usage right now is 10 times faster than a month or two ago. Usage is high and so far we’re keeping up with it pretty well. Again, I don’t know what the back office looks like yet, but I know that the leadership team is definitely preparing for what we see the future has to offer.
CP: Anything else you would like to add?
RR: In my 30-plus years — 33 to be exact — I have been channel only. I’m a huge proponent of the channel, and I intend on being their champion as well as the champion for LogMeIn. I’m as excited as I’ve ever been, so I’m just looking forward to jumping in feet first and making it happen.
