Tech Data has announced the appointment of Jason Boxall to the role of senior vice president of Advanced and Specialised Solutions for Europe.
He succeeds Miriam Murphy whose departure was announced this week after five years with the business to join technology services provider NTT Ltd as its new Europe CEO.
Boxall will sit on Tech Data’s European executive board and hold overall leadership responsibility for its advanced solutions operations and technology portfolio.
This portfolio includes solutions for infrastructure, hybrid cloud, software, analytics/IoT and cybersecurity – as well as the specialised businesses Maverick AV Solutions and Datech Solutions.
“Jason brings in-depth knowledge of our organisation and great connections within the IT industry, especially with key infrastructure vendors, to his new role,” said Tech Data’s president for Europe, Patrick Zammit.
“I am confident that our advanced solutions business will continue to thrive under his leadership; it is additionally pleasing to make an internal appointment for this role as a demonstration of the strength in depth of our talented leadership team.”
Boxall joined Tech Data in 2016 as European head of the company’s Cisco business unit before advancing to the role of VP for vendors and alliances in Europe.
Before joining the distributor, he spent 19 years at Cisco, holding a number of senior channel-focused positions including head of European distribution.
Boxall added: “Under Miriam’s leadership, Tech Data’s Advanced Solutions business has cemented its place at the heart of the technology ecosystem.
“We will continue to focus on enabling our partners to accelerate their adoption of new technologies and business models, bringing our own best-in-class tools, expertise and insights.
“And as part of TD SYNNEX, we have the opportunity to leverage our breadth and strength as a global leader in distribution and solutions aggregation. I look forward to accelerating on our journey in collaboration with our vendors, partners and the whole Tech Data team.”
In March Tech Data and Synnex merged to form TD SYNNEX in a $7.2bn deal.
