In With The New ... Channel Management
Avaya Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing and President, Field Operations, Todd Abbott confirmed earlier this week that 80 percent of Avaya's vice presidents joined the company within the last 18 months. That big number has been part of a sea change at Avaya that began when the company was taken private by a $8.2 billion private equity buyout in 2007, and continued with a long and continuing stretch of management changes.
Channel management, in particular, has shifted dramatically, and a number of new faces, including Abbott (May 2008), global channel chief Jeremy Butt (left), (June 2008), North American channel chief Carol Giles Neslund (October 2008), and senior director of channel strategy and development Eileen Corrigan (August 2009).
