Channel People on the Move: Avaya, 8x8, Verizon, More

A number of big channel players – notably 8×8, Avaya and Verizon – are celebrating the new year with new employees.

We’ve got a bevy of new hires and promotions to tell you about in this edition of channel people on the move. It features people who took new jobs or advancements within their companies in December.

The announcements ran the gamut, from new channel managers to CEOs, whose business decisions will trickle down to the channel.

Take 8×8 and Frontier, for example, which tapped new chief executives. Frontier’s, in particular, will have his hands full leading the company out of chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Verizon is revamping its partner program and needed a new channel chief to lead it.

If that’s not enough, we also offer up new hires and promotions at CallTower, NetFortris, Avant and more in the gallery below. And don’t forget! You don’t have to wait for our monthly gallery to keep up with our People on the Move coverage in real time.

Looking for more? When done, check out last month’s gallery to see who was on the move in November.
