NetSuite Names New Channel VP

Ross, who began working for the San Mateo, Calif., software-as-a-service vendor last month, said he aims to do a better job promoting NetSuite's channel to potential customers. "We are also looking to update the lead registration portion of the Web site, to include pieces on how customers heard of us and whether they're working with any NetSuite business partners," he said.

Ross enters an organization that has seen a number of defections in recent weeks. In the past month, the San Mateo, Calif., software-as-a-service vendor has lost the services of Susan Gallagher, director of channel sales, Donna Ehart, who oversaw channel marketing, and Jonathan Halligan, NetSuite's Western regional manager.

Ross reports to Mike Williams, senior vice president of worldwide sales.
