3Com welcomes Willis as country manager

Networking vendor 3Com has unveiled Jeff Willis as country manager for the UK and Ireland.

Joining 3Com from storage giant EMC, Willis will be responsible for defining UK business strategy and driving sales of 3Com, TippingPoint security and H3C enterprise networking solutions. This will be achieved through direct-touch sales teams and channel partners.

Willis said: “This is an incredibly exciting time to be joining 3Com. The company has just celebrated 30 years at the forefront of the technology market providing networks that deliver exceptional business value.

“Today, we are disrupting the status quo of the networking industry with our H3C enterprise networking solutions that deliver even better price/performance, energy-efficiency and total cost of ownership. H3C represents a real alternative for enterprises searching for a reliable, responsive, long-term partner for maximising the return on their networking investment.”

Prior to EMC Willis was UK managing director of Enterasys, vice president of sales for public sector partners and precision services at Affiniti, and operations director for UK enterprise manufacturing and services sector at Cisco.

Chris Huggett, EMEA regional sales director at 3Com, said: “In Jeff Willis, we have a vastly experienced UK and Ireland country manager who is focused on customer satisfaction, operational excellence and driving solutions that bring maximum value to our customers and partners.”
