Emma de Sousa exits Insight

Insight’s EMEA president, Emma de Sousa has announced she will be leaving the building for the last time on 31 December.

After 20 years working for the reseller giant she is leaving to make way for Adrian Gregory, an Atos executive who has previously run its Northern European and APAC business.

De Sousa moved into the EMEA president role just under three years ago, having previously led the UK business.

She seems to have left leaving a statement which was possibly written by a PR AI, as it is difficult to imagine a human saying it.

“It was a very difficult decision to make, but it has been a privilege to be part of this wonderful organisation that continually strives for greatness and lives by its core values of hunger, heart and harmony”, de Sousa apparently said.

Insight CEO Joyce Mullen said: “We have enormous respect for the decision that Emma has made, and we fully support her.

“We thank her for her phenomenal leadership and many years of success leading the UK and our EMEA business. Widely respected both with the industry and Insight, I’d also like to pay tribute to Emma’s enduring commitment to building a high performance, highly inclusive culture at Insight. We have taken this opportunity to look carefully at the market and have found a terrific successor in Adrian.”
