Westcon-Comstor has a new executive vice president dedicated to global partner management.
It’s Ken Bast, who the tech distributor hired last year to lead Comstor’s relationship with Cisco, which he will now expand.
“As we are building the IT distribution company of the future, investing significantly in our tools and creating new capabilities in cloud and services, Westcon-Comstor and our partners will benefit greatly from Ken’s experience and leadership to help complete that journey,” said Dolph Westerbos, CEO of Westcon-Comstor.
“Westcon-Comstor’s global reach is an unparalleled differentiator for vendors and partners serving end-users across the globe. That solid foundation, coupled with a global and strategic approach to manage our most important partnerships, makes this an exciting next step in my career,” said Bast. “I look forward to bringing our focused partner management model to the next level.”{ad}
Bast’s team is tasked with developing, deepening and driving Westcon-Comstor’s global vendor and customer relationships. In his new role specifically, Bast is responsible for driving growth across the company’s security, collaboration, networking, data center and cloud services.
Before joining Westcon-Comstor, Bast led his own IT channel consulting business and also spent 15 years at Ingram Micro, where he was vice president and general manager of the distributor’s Advanced Technology Division.
