Symbol appoints Preizler

Mobility vendor appoints new vice president of worldwide channels to drive more business indirect

Mobility vendor Symbol Technologies has appointed Sanford Preizler as vice president of worldwide channels.

Preizler will oversee Symbol's global PartnerSelect Programme and drive more business through the vendor's partner network.

Previously Preizler was vice president of worldwide RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) sales for Symbol since March 2005. He has also worked as a channel sales director at Cisco Systems responsible for business across the east of the US.

"Symbol's PartnerSelect channel program is already strong and vibrant. Our percentage of business through the channel grew from 45 to 75 per cent in the last three years - a goal and commitment to our partners that we took very seriously," said Preizler.

He added: "In my new role, I will work with our partners to help accelerate growth in their business in order to drive Symbol's business forward. Also, as RFID continues to be strategic both to Symbol and our customers, my experience and leadership uniquely qualifies me to work with our go-to-market partners in this position, and enable them to deploy RFID technologies."
