Ingram Micro’s UK&I director of cloud and software, Apay Obang-Oyway, is set to leave the company.
Apparently, he is getting ready to join Ingram vendor partner Symantec in a northern European channel role next month.
Matthew Sanderson, Ingram Micro UK&I managing director, said: “Apay will be leaving us to pursue new opportunities, and we thank him for his dedication and hard work over many years. During his tenure, Apay has helped build our highly successful cloud business and leaves us with a market-leading position, along with an experienced and strong team in which we have every confidence that it will continue to take the business forward under new leadership.”
Sanderson added that Scott Murphy, Ingram’s director of cloud and advanced solutions, would now head up a combined enterprise and cloud unit.
“Customers are increasingly turning to the cloud as a strategy for business growth and as our partners look ahead to the next two years. Many see the cloud as beneficial for either growing their business or using it as a strategic asset to react more quickly to market shifts, deliver new products and services faster and get ahead of the competition”, he said.
“Under Scott’s leadership, we will continue to enable our partners to tackle a full range of critical IT issues via the cloud, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and enterprise solutions, with the goal of becoming the number one strategic enterprise distributor.”
