Pinon departs from Matrix

Former Norwood Adam sales and marketing director parts company with Matrix

Manny Pinon, sales and marketing director at Norwood Adam, now part of Matrix Communications, is no longer working with the company.

Matrix acquired the distributor last year (CRN, 9 August 2004) and then amalgamated Norwood with its other distribution acquisitions of Network Partners and equIP to form Commcentric (CRN, 8 August).

CRN understands that Pinon’s departure was entirely amicable and Ian Smith, chief executive of Matrix said that he would be very happy to work with Pinon again in the future.

“Manny is no longer working with us and has simply decided to take a break. It would be great to be working again with him soon,” he said.

Last month Matrix also lost the managing director of its Partner Sales distribution division, just a few months after the appointment was made. Ron Sandison, who was overseeing the integration of his former company Network Partners with Matrix, retired (CRN, 5 June).
