Jack Novia, Hewlett-Packard's managing director and senior vice president of HP's Technology Solutions Group, Americas, plans to retire at the end of May 2008.
An HP spokeswoman confirmed that Ann Livermore, HP's executive vice president TSG, circulated a memo to HP employees today announcing Novia's pending retirement. Tom Iannotti, senior managing director for Asia Pacific-Japan, will replace Novia, the HP spokeswoman said. Iannotti will move into Novia's TSG Americas role Feb. 1 and Novia will work with him during the transition period, the spokeswoman said.
Novia is responsible for HP's enterprise product and services sales in the Americas and has been a strong supporter of more HP enterprise solution provider involvement with HP's direct sales force.
Previously, Novia was senior vice president and general manager, Americas Region, TSG. Before that he had spent two years as senior vice president and general manager of HP Services Americas. Novia also served as vice president of Global Sales and Systems Integration for Compaq Global Services, as well as a vice president in Compaq's Enterprise Sales organization.
Novia could not be reached for comment.
