Bennett is currently senior director, enterprise software and cloud, UK and Ireland. He will take up his position when the current managing director, advanced solutions, UK and Ireland, Matt Child, moves into his new role leading TD Synnex European digital strategy in December.
As senior vice president, digital, Europe, Child will be stepping into the shoes of Andy Gass, who is retiring from the business in January 2024, after a 30-year career at the company.
Simon Bennett (pictured) said, “I am really excited to be taking on the leadership of the advanced solutions division in the UK and Ireland. Over the last four years, Matt has built a fantastic team with incredible depth of capability.
“He has established the advanced solutions business as a leader in the enablement and aggregation of emerging technologies and a genuinely trusted advisor for channel partners. I look forward to continuing and building on that success and taking the business into the next exciting phase of its development.”
Matt Child added, “It’s been a great honour to lead the advanced solutions business in the UK and Ireland. We’ve made tremendous strides and achieved a great deal in key areas of technology growth for our partners.
“As head of the cloud and enterprise software business, Simon has made a really valuable contribution to the advancement and progression of the business.
“I’m certain that, with his passionate and innovative approach, Simon will lead the advanced solutions business in the UK and Ireland to even greater heights.”
