Jason Beal, a well-known veteran of Ingram Micro Services, North America and Ingram Micro Seismic, will soon shift his attention to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Effective January 1, 2011, Ingram Micro EMEA will leverage Beal as senior director, software and services, Value Division. Beal’s new role is the latest update to Ingram Micro’s cloud, managed services and IT services strategy. Here’s the update.
In recent years, Beal has one of the key leaders driving the Ingram Micro Seismic push, which offers a range of solutions to established and aspiring MSPs. But in recent months, Ingram has been reorganizing its senior leadership to address (A) global opportunities and (B) emerging cloud opportunities.
Beal, for instance, will be based in Brussels, Belgium, reporting to EMEA Senior VP Vincenzo Baggio. But before heading to Europe, Beal has been spending time with new Ingram Micro’s new VP of Managed Services and Cloud Computing, Renee Bergeron.
I caught up with Beal and Bergeron during the recent Rackspace Partner Leadership Summit in San Antonio, Texas. Bergeron spoke at the conference and also seems to be tapping into Beal’s experience within the Seismic team. As you may recall, Bergeron succeeded former Ingram Micro VP Justin Crotty, who joined NetEnrich in August 2010 as senior VP and GM.
How will Beal assist Ingram Micro’s EMEA efforts? I hope to catch up with him in the next few days.

Congratulations Jason! Tremendous new and exciting opportunity and so very well deserved.
A big congratulations to Jason. His contribution to MSP’s here in North America will be missed for sure. It has been a pleasure working with him.
I am very happy for you Jason. I hope this is a great move for you!
Thank you to Ken, Rob, Dan, and all my other friends in the channel who have expressed congrats and well-wishes to me in the past few days. It’s been wonderful spending the last ten years of my professional career in the IT channel, bulding relationships with vendors, media, analysts, and the reseller community. As I told the audience at a conference last week, “My name is Jason, and I’m a VARoholic!” Special thanks to Joe for all your support over the years. Look forward to seeing all of you at shows over the next few months and then keeping in touch via industry sites like MSPMentor.net, email, phone and through social media.
Thank you to all!

I share the sentiments. Best of luck, Jason. You will do very well. A true class act.
