TD Synnex has appointed Andy Brown as senior business unit director – data and applications, UK and Ireland.
Brown will take responsibility for TD Synnex's Destination AI strategy.
Major vendor partners are making significant joint investments with TD Synnex to support Destination AI, the company’s all-in-one programme that enables reseller partners to articulate the benefits of AI with customers, uncover new potential and deliver solutions.
One investment will result in systems with the latest neural processing units and graphics processing units made available for partners to run demonstrations and proof-of-concept testing within the TD Synnex Business Solutions Centre in Bracknell. A second will provide AI-readiness education and enablement to support ISVs in building AI solutions and taking them to market.
Simon Bennett, managing director, Advanced Solutions, UK and Ireland, said, “This appointment and the additional joint investments that TD Synnex is making with vendor partners, underlines our total commitment to supporting partner growth in AI and in data and applications – all of which are fast-growing areas of opportunity for us and our partners.”
In his new role, Brown will oversee TD Synnex’s data and analytics, line-of-business applications and AI-driven solutions business, and manage relationships with key vendors.
Brown said, “I am honoured to have been given this opportunity to lead our efforts in these vitally important areas of huge potential. With the significant resources already in place and more investments being made, TD Synnex is ready to drive real partner success. In Destination AI we have a unique programme – I’m excited to be taking the lead on that and helping more partners to chart their own journey to AI enlightenment.”
For the past eight years, Brown has been technical services director, advanced solutions, UK, at TD Synnex and brings more than two decades of experience.
