XChange UK: Introducing our 2025 advisory board

Thank you to our advisory board members for their continued support and invaluable insight

As CRN’s first XChange conference of the year – XChange UK – draws nearer, we are excited to shine a spotlight on our advisory board of industry experts for the event.

These channel pros have generously given their time to help us shape the structure and content of the third annual XChange UK.

This year’s board includes:

Richard Behan, chief corporate development officer, CAE Technology Services Limited

Jenny Latimer, operations director, Highgate IT Solutions

Dr Colin Williams, business CTO, Computacenter

Katie Sloan, marketing director, Core Technology Systems

Sonny Sehgal, CEO, Transputec Ltd

Mike Barron, UK managing director, SYNAXON

Andrew Allen, chairman, Aabyss

Chris Gabriel, chief marketing officer, NTT DATA

Matthew Reeve, founder, Modern Networks Ltd

At the event, you’ll find our advisory board members leading boardroom sessions, where attendees will be split into small, pre-selected groups to hear from the vendor sponsors – or just mingling with other attendees during the break.

The boardroom sessions are designed to give attendees exclusive insight into the latest IT solutions on the market – without having to schedule 121 meetings with vendors.

They also allow for an open discussion with a group of peers at other partner firms, candidly and off the record.

With several members of our advisory board returning to XChange for the second or third year in a row, their insights into the event itself and especially the vendor content can prove invaluable for attendees.

XChange UK is set to take place on 18-19 March at Sopwell House, Hertfordshire. Click here to find out more or register to attend.
