Solution providers will receive a significant number of new
account leads in the near term, says Compaq's new top
channel executive for North America.
Dan Vertrees took over last week as Compaq's vice
president of North American channel sales and marketing.
He replaces Bob Gregerson, who had run the company's
North American channel sales and marketing operations.
Gregerson left Compaq for an as-yet-undisclosed position
at another company, according to Compaq.
Vertrees, a 29-year industry veteran, joined Compaq in
1998 from Digital Equipment when it was acquired by
Compaq. He will take over the vendor's North American
solution provider channel and small- and midsize-business
efforts, as well as its Web sales efforts.
Compaq plans to continue to work with partners to
penetrate the small- and midsize-business space and will
ramp up its lead-passing efforts, Vertrees says.
"They want leads," he says. |
