Patrick Chen, solutions engineer for Intelisys' Central region, most recently was at Aryaka.

Brandon Knight left a two-year run at Intelisys for Serenova, the CCaaS and workforce optimization provider, to become its senior VP of global channel sales. It'll be his job to provide the direction for Serenova's global channel partners, focusing mostly on engaging them to continue driving adoption of the company's cloud contact center solutions.

It was exciting to see such a packed expo hall floor at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo, where partners go to meet with more than 275 exhibitors and sponsors.
Some of those vendors and master agents used the show as an opportunity to introduce new hires that will work directly with agents, VARs, MSPs and other types of partners — many of which are profiled here in our monthly Channel People on the Move recap.
I mentioned master agents — both Telarus and Intelisys announced a trio of new faces and promotions at their respective companies. Intelisys also saw one of its execs leave for a different job. And just a month after appointing a new leader for its Partner Exchange program, AT&T tapped someone to replace Zee Hussain as its overall channel head.
Moves at Broadvoice, PGi and Ecessa also are represented in the gallery below, where we introduce you to nearly 20 people who are taking their careers to the next level. Don’t forget: You can see who’s on the move 24/7/365 by keeping up with our webpage dedicated to people on the move.
