Distribution behemoth Ingram Micro has today set its new organisational model in motion.
From today onwards, the distributor will consist of four business units, compared to 11 previously – these are Central and Eastern Europe, South West, France and The Nordics and the UK as a standalone unit.
According to Ingram the regional organisation will enable it to remain agile and responsive to opportunities in the market.

Jay Forbes, president of Ingram Micro EMEA, said: “The consolidation of 14 countries into four separate business units creates a simpler, streamlined structure while promoting a greater level of collaboration within and between business units. It will enable us to create a consistent level of operational excellence that will make us a stronger competitor in the marketplace.”
Inevitably the new structure has prompted a management reshuffle. According to Ingram Micro’s press release:
In the South West business unit, Dominique Deklerck will assume the leadership role at Ingram Micro Italy and Steve Meynen will lead Ingram Micro Belgium.
Christian Bittebierre will lead a combined France and Nordics business unit, with two of his colleagues - Pierre Yvon Mechali and Etienne Choquet - becoming deputy managing directors of Ingram Micro France. Magnus Högvall will continue to lead the Nordic operations (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark) and will report directly to Christian.
Gerhard Schulz will take the lead of the Central & Eastern Europe business unit in addition to his role as executive managing director for Germany. Florian Wallner, currently chief financial officer of Ingram Micro Austria, will serve as interim acting country manager for Ingram Micro Austria.
