Channel People on the Move: Lumen, Intelisys, Palo Alto, Microsoft, Mitel

The big names in the channel keep coming with the new hires and promotions. Lumen? Check. Microsoft? Check. Intelisys — we have them too.

The unofficial start to fall might be just a week away, but Channel People on the Move remains hot! Take, for instance, the leadership shuffle at 8×8, where channel chief John DeLozier stepped away to become president of Intelisys, while the company looked internally to fill his role.

Meantime, Mitel hired a slew of people to take on channel-facing roles, including a new partner boss. And Lumen swapped out one channel chief for another.

For companies that play more with VARs and MSPs, Palo Alto Networks and Barracuda made some big changes. Also, we finally learned what former Microsoft exec Gavriella Schuster will do next.

Hope you’ve done some finger flexing lately, because you’re mouse trigger and smartphone toucher are going to need it. We’ve got more than 40 slides featuring more than 50 people on the move in the slideshow above. As always, you don’t have to wait for our monthly gallery to come out; we have a webpage specifically devoted to channel people on the move. If it’s Lumen, Microsoft, Intelisys, Palo Alto – any company in the channel – you’ll find them there.

Miss last month’s edition? If so, you missed moves at AT&T, IBM, Fusion Connect, VMware and more.
