Shaking on it: Axel Lagerboug is set to take over on Monday

Westcon Security has enlisted former MessageLabs head Axel Lagerborg as its new UK managing director.

Lagerborg will take up the post on Monday and perform a short handover period with Kay Bruen, who announced her resignation from the distributor last month.

Lagerborg was previously a director at ISP Star. Before that he was corporate and SMB sales director EMEA for Star-owned security vendor MessageLabs and he has also served stints at distributors Ingram Micro and Computer 2000.

Bruen said: “I have enjoyed my time at Westcon and I am sure Axel is the right person to continue to build Westcon’s Security's UK business. I wish him the best of luck."

Bruen is leaving Westcon to launch a channel consultancy, Clipsham IT Limited.

“I have already got my first five customers set up,” she said.
