Running this Australian IT Distribution company focusing on high value add in the networking and security arena. As MD I was the primary interface for our vendor and alliance partners which meant leading negotiations on major projects. Managing the sales team on a day to day basis and ensuring they had the skills and motivation to win was a key requirement. During my time I developed and executed a strategy to grow the company 50% YoY for 3 years and then work on being acquired. This was successfully concluded with Avnet buying ChannelWorx. Post the acquisition I worked for Avnet as the MD of the new division for a transition period.
