His leadership of the groundbreaking development of Ingram Micro's Services Division and Ingram Micro Seismic, proves he not only understands the IT services business strategy for the channel, he understands how to build upon our vision for growth. We're excited that he set his sights on NetEnrich for the next chapter in his career. His leadership, coupled with our expertise, will enable IT channel partners to succeed with cloud computing and managed services today, and pave the way for mutually profitable growth for our partners and NetEnrich well into the future."
