Integralis welcomes vendor recruits

Integrator poaches top-level employees from vendor partners Crossbeam and McAfee

Written by Doug Woodburn

Security integrator Integralis has recruited two top-level employees from vendor partners Crossbeam Systems and McAfee to aid its expansion as a security systems vendor and services provider.

Crossbeam’s northern European regional director Neal Lillywhite has left the unified threat management vendor to become UK sales director for one of his biggest former partners.

McAfee’s EMEA regional director for telco and service providers, Bruce Jubb, has been drafted in to head up Integralis’ business unit for systems integrators and the public sector.

Integralis claimed the appointments would allow UK managing director Adrian Young to focus on “developing business strategies in line with the organisation’s new vendor profile”.

Young said in a statement: “With a new management team now in place, an extensive global infrastructure of security operation centres, a comprehensive product range, and an international customer base, we are perfectly situated to focus on the development of our MSS [managed security service] operations, which achieved over 29 per cent growth in revenue over the past financial year.”

The news comes just a week after the pan-European firm unveiled a 4.6 per cent spike in first-half turnover to €68m (CRN, 20 August).

The VAR, which is gearing up to slim down its vendor partner base, also unveiled a five-fold increase in net profit to €1.6m.

Jubb started at the beginning of August while Lillywhite will assume his new role on 3 September.
