Microsoft: Simon Witts named VP of Enterprise
crn.com | at | by Mike
As the end of its fiscal year approaches, Microsoft has named an official channel chief for enterprise partners--sort of. Simon Witts, who once served as vice president of sales and marketing for Microsoft Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), has been named to serve as corporate vice president of Microsoft's Enterprise and Partner Group (EPG), a post left void after Charles Stevens moved to a new role at Microsoft a year ago.
Sources say Witts will report directly to Paul Flessner, senior vice president, Server Platform Division. A Microsoft spokeswoman confirmed the appointment of Witts to the top enterprise post but could not confirm his new title as of press time.
