Whitty to remain involved in key business and customer initiatives

Angela Whitty is to step down from her role as group CEO of Ampito, effective on the 30 September 2024.

After two and a half years of leadership, Angela has made the decision to step back to spend more time with her family during trying times.

Step back and not step out

Whitty will keep supporting the company in a part-time non-executive chair capacity.

In her new role, Angela will remain involved in key business and customer initiatives.

“I’m going to stay engaged and support Manny Pinon, who has been incredibly supportive,” she said.

Even though she will be stepping back from her day-to-day role, Whitty emphasised her commitment and attachment to the company.

“I don’t want people to think I’m walking away from Ampito, because I’m not.

“Sometimes we need to stop and decide what's most important right here, right now,” she said on a LinkedIn post.

A lucrative journey

Angela leaves behind her a legacy of growth.

During her leadership, Angela has grown the business, which has received awards such as the bronze EcoVadis medal for its commitment to ethical business practices.

The organisation also made various partnerships such as the one with Nebula a week ago.

Angela Whitty joined Ampito in 2022, following 29 years at Cisco, spending the last seven years as MD of UK&I partner sales.

Whitty told CRN in January 2022 that her plan was to grow revenue billings from a current level of about £100m to around £250m over the next five years.

And growing the company, she did.

With 11.1 per cent revenue growth for 2022, Ampito went from 66 to 60 in CRN’s Top VARs 2024 list.

The company has yet to name a new CEO.
