Summary
With previous chief Jay Miley departing the role in favour of an American position, Sanderson told ARN at the time that the system upgrade changes “needed to happen” to ensure the distributor took a “long-term view” to move ahead. “Initially, Ingram Micro had been our first choice for any brands they stocked, such as Cisco, IBM, EMC etc, but we went through a period where we had all manner of challenges and ultimately stopped ordering for quite some time,” CloudPlus CEO, Jules Rumsey, told ARN, following news of Sandersons departure. Matt is leaving a solid business that is important to the success of channel.” For ac3 Director Strategic Alliances & Commercial Sales, David Abouhaidar, Sanderson brought back a culture to Ingram Micro, helping the distributor recover both internally and externally during the post-SAP years. The Australian industry will definitely miss him.” Having recently joined the Ingram Micro partner base, HubOne CEO, Nick Beaugeard, told ARN that the distributor’s overriding appeal is through its product line, which encompasses over 130 vendor portfolios in Australia. “In looking at the bigger picture, it’ll be interesting to see how all the changes will impact locally, given they are becoming part of a different business altogether,” added Beaugeard, referring to HNA Group’s, a Hainan-based Fortune Global 500 enterprise company, $US6 billion acquisition of the distributor.
