Telefónica Tech UK&I CEO Martin Hess has stepped down from the role and will be doing something different in the company.
Hess will be replaced by the firm’s vice president of sales and marketing Mark Gorton while he focuses on longer-term strategic growth, both in the UK&I and worldwide, Telefónica Tech said.
Gorton played an “instrumental role” in the growth of Cancom UK&I, which was sold to Telefónica Tech in July 2021, the Microsoft partner added, and also in the acquisition of Incremental Group in March this year.
“I am incredibly proud of the journey our business has been on and where we have got to in a relatively short space of time and I am confident that Mark and Dominic will continue this same upward curve”, Hess said.
The company is now eyeing further growth in the public sector, particularly in healthcare, it said.
Gorton said: “I am excited to have the opportunity to continue building on the magnificent work done to date by Martin Hess, and I am delighted that Dominic Arcari is joining the Telefónica Tech team.
“As an experienced sales leader, he will play an important part in accelerating our continued growth in cloud, cybersecurity, and modern workplace, and consolidating our position as a market leader in the UK and Ireland.”
