Hitachi Data Systems kunngjorde tidligere denne måneden en rekke organisasjonsendringer innenfor sin EMEA virksomhet. Dette innbefatter en konsolidering av teamet som jobber med de Europeiske salgskanalene og innenfor Solution Marketing & Business Development (SMBD) teamet.

Endringene vil føre til bedre lederskap og støtte for de regionale salgsteamene. Endringen innebærer også at Bob Plumridge går inn i en nyopprettet CTO rolle som teknisk rådgiver for Hitachi Data Systems key account og kanalpartnere.

Johannes Kunz, blir på bagrunn av omorgansieringen, ansvarlig som Vice President EMEA Channels and Solutions GTM.

– Dette er positive endringer som vil styrke vår posisjon ikke bare som industriledende leverandør av lagringsløsninger, men også som en sterkere samarbeidspartner for hele vårt økosystem, sier norsk Country Manager Rune Sund i en kommentar.
