Patterson will provide education, tools and support for MSPs in the IT channel. He will report to Jennifer Bodell, Pax8’s vice president of channel, and a member of the Channel Partners Editorial Advisory Board.

“Working with Pax8 as (a) partner and now as a member of the team, I am excited about what we can accomplish together,” Patterson said. “I look forward to building a strong link between Pax8 and the partner community, leveraging the technology and tools to make a positive impact on MSPs businesses.”

Before joining Pax8, he worked at Techevolution, a Boston-based MSP, as its executive vice president. In this role, he managed the company’s operations and processes for the sales and marketing departments. He has more than 20 years of experience growing and managing operations for MSPs.

“Ken brings a unique approach with him to Pax8, with more than 20 years of IT channel experience working with MSPs,” Bodell said. “Our goal is to ensure we are providing the best ‘wingman’ experience for our partners, and by having Ken on the team to manage community relations, we are driving an environment where MSPs can achieve more.”
