"Buffalo is a beautiful community filled with history, energy and some of the best people you will ever meet, including our more than 1,600 Ingram Micro employees who work in the city," said Susan O''Sullivan, vice president, Ingram Micro. "Our annual sales kickoff and President''s Club are a big deal in our company and we''re excited to once again host these high-energy events in a city that''s been so good to us and continues to play such an important role in the lives of so many."
Throughout the kickoff event, attendees will network, focus on honing their sales skills and listen to and learn from stories of success and better business outcomes from their peers, Ingram Micro partners and guest speakers. Event speakers include Ingram Micro''s Senior Vice President of Go-To-Market Kirk Robinson and Executive Vice President and Group President of the Americas Paul Bay. Channel IT Strategist, CEO and Chief Analyst Larry Walsh of the 2112 Group is keynoting the event and will discuss how technology is changing business outcomes. Inspirational keynote speaker John Maclean will also address the group.
"This time together is essential for teambuilding and sharing best practices for our sales associates, who work within three main offices and across numerous field offices throughout the U.S.," explains Robinson, who is hosting both events, along with other Ingram Micro executives. "Our focus for this annual kickoff is to share best practices, build stronger relationships across our many business units, and idea share on how we can and will better serve our customers and continue to lead this industry forward.
