SkyKick names
Kathryn Saducas as
new Channel executive
SkyKick, a global provider of cloud management software for
Information Technology solution partners (ITSPs), recently
announced the promotion of European General Manager, Kathryn
Saducas, to Global Vice President, MSP Sales.
In this role, she will lead sales and account management teams
focused on SkyKick’s Managed Services Provider (MSP) segment, and
drive the company’s reach and engagement with SkyKick’s 25,000
MSPs and the broader MSP market.
Saducas becomes SkyKick’s first leader promoted to the SkyKick
executive team from within the company, a nod to her extremely
strong track record of results in the European market and to the
importance the global market plays for the Seattle-based company.
“SkyKick’s rapid expansion and growth for our partners in Europe
is due in no small part to Kathryn and her demonstrated ability to
build the SkyKick team and brand into a substantial force in the
region,” said Co-CEO, Todd Schwartz. “Her appointment allows us to
further develop our global sales teams’ capabilities to better help
serve our partners’ cloud business.”
Since joining SkyKick in April 2016 as General Manager of Europe,
Saducas has been instrumental in driving awareness and adoption
of SkyKick’s suite of products – which make it easy and efficient
for ITSPs to migrate, backup and manage customers in the cloud –
driving exponential revenue growth in the EMEA region.
Exertis Hammer extends
Tripp Lite Relationship
into Europe
Value-added distributor, Exertis Hammer, and a worldleading
manufacturer of power and connectivity solutions,
Tripp Lite, have extended a distribution agreement to service
resellers in Germany and the Nordics.
Exertis, a leading route-to-market and supply chain partner
for global technology brands across consumer, business and
enterprise, has an existing distribution agreement with Tripp Lite
in the UK and now, via this relationship, Exertis Hammer’s vast
vendor portfolio has expanded to provide Tripp Lite’s awardwinning
portfolio of data centre solutions, which include UPS
systems, PDUs, racks and connectivity solutions, across these
European regions. “We have enjoyed a great relationship with
Tripp Lite in the UK and we are looking forward to extending that
into the German and Nordics markets. We both see significant
opportunity in the regions for their wide range of infrastructure
products, which complement our existing enterprise portfolio and
add value to our resellers, in providing solutions for industrial,
commercial and data centre applications,” said Angelo Apa, Head
of Enterprise Vendor Management at Exertis. “Exertis truly values
Tripp Lite’s flexibility and willingness to make business simple.
Whether it’s a large-scale data centre deployment or a smaller
network closet, Tripp Lite always delivers the same high standard
of customer service that ensures they remain a valued partner.”
Tripp Lite’s industry-leading solutions are known for reliability
and cost-efficiency. They are represented throughout the world’s
hyperscale data centres, as well as micro data centres and Edge
Computing installations. “This extension of Exertis’s already
successful relationship with Tripp Lite into European regions,
where Exertis Hammer has years of experience, is great news for
customers in Germany and the Nordics,” said Tom Cox, Commercial
Director of Server, Storage and Software Defined. “This addition
to our portfolio means our proposition as an enterprise specialist
distributor across Europe has been bolstered even further, with a
true focus around adding value and expertise for our customers
in server, storage, networking, power, security, software and
enterprise components areas.”
“We have been looking for a strategic partner to continue
our expansion in Germany and the Nordics,” said Bryn Morgan,
Senior Vice President of International Sales at Tripp Lite. “Exertis
Hammer was a perfect fit. Their local market experience,
technical expertise and value-added services makes them an
ideal partner to distribute Tripp Lite’s extensive portfolio of
power and connectivity solutions within these regions.”
