A reshuffle of Exclusive Networks' management enables the firm to better review its organic growth and look for acquisitions.
Barrie Desmond is stepping into Neil Ledger's shoes as Chief Operating Officer, prompting an immediate search for a new VP/Director of Marketing & Business Development.
Ledger is stepping back and reducing his role after running the UK and international business.
The privately-funded distributor has been buying into new markets, including Australia. "With our 2017 target of 1bn€ revenues rapidly approaching, we are planning for growth beyond this horizon by strengthening now to embrace our future as a truly global player in value-added distribution," said Olivier Breittmayer, CEO of Exclusive Networks Group.
"Our latest half-year results have outperformed both the market and our own projections, but it's the organic growth performance that really stands out. Neil and Barrie are a proven team, charged with continuing this success, and myself and the board are excited at the prospect of them working hand in hand."
Ledger added: "Taking up this more strategic position gives us more resource as a team to ensure our existing vendors and territories are maximised for value and revenue.
"The Exclusive Networks Group project has been both exciting and rewarding and I'm hoping to continue to contribute to what is an amazing journey."
Ledger will continue to steer the Group's organic growth in his position as Non-Executive Director and member of the board, with Barrie Desmond leaving his position as Director of Marketing and Global Accounts to become COO.
The transition follows Nicolas Trombert and Julien Antoine's appointments to the management team, to spearhead acquisition strategy and global business transformation respectively.
