Ingram Micro Technology Solutions: Global Priorities
The global marketing efforts are part of Ingram's broader Global Technology Solutions strategy, led by Bay. That strategy, Ingram says, includes:- multi-million-dollar investments announced in Latin America;
- organic and acquisition investments around its global Centers of Excellence supporting cyber security, data center and IoT technology solutions;
- cloud, as-a-service, product lifecycle and mobility services investments;
- doubling down on Ingram partner ecosystems such as the Trust X Alliance and SMB Alliance—which represent more than 600 channel partners; and
- new steps to make it easier for channel partners to work with Ingram Micro and its vendor partners.
- U.S. leader, Tim Ament, was promoted to senior vice president and chief country officer, Australia and New Zealand, reporting to Diego Utge, executive vice president and group president, Asia Pacific.
- Bill Brandel, Alex Maier and Matt Sanderson have been promoted to senior vice presidents overseeing their respective countries of Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom.
- In the U.S., security leader Eric Kohl’s role was expanded to vice president, Security and Data Center Software, and channel leader Jeff Yelton was promoted to vice president, Infrastructure and Specialty Technologies. Both executives report to Kirk Robinson, senior vice president and chief country executive, Ingram Micro.
