CA shuffles UK management

More senior level changes afoot as vendor breaks UK and Ireland market away from Northern Europe

Written by Sara Yirrell

CA has reshuffled its senior management in the UK again after both its UK and Ireland country manager and UK channel manager left the company this week.

Former Dell executive Mike Feltwell was appointed in May to spearhead CA’s UK channel, after the vendor's channel sales manager Terry O’Loughlin left suddenly. However CRN has learned today that he too, has left the company.

In addition, Mark Bridger, vice president and regional manager UK and Ireland at the vendor has left.

In a statement, CA said: “CA does not comment on people that no longer work for the company.”

To replace Feltwell and Bridger, the vendor has appointed Chris Miller as senior vice president and area manager, UK & Ireland, reporting to Patrick Starck, senior vice president and general manager for EMEA.

This appointment follows the creation of the UK and Ireland as a standalone area – previously it fell under the Northern EMEA domain.

As a result CA has five standalone areas in EMEA: UK and Ireland, Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern EMEA.

Stark said, “Having worked closely with Chris throughout the year leading Sales Operations across EMEA, I am confident he will provide the leadership required to continue the growth in customer satisfaction and financial performance in the UK and Ireland.”
