Promethean poaches Sid Stanley from Maverick

Audiovisual distributor appoints Xerox's Simon Fagan as replacement general manager

Sid Stanley, general manager at audiovisual distributor Maverick, has left the company to join interactive whiteboard vendor Promethean.

The distributor has already moved to hire Xerox's general manager for desktop printing and supplies across Europe, Simon Fagan, as a replacement for Stanley (pictured), who is now vice president for international channel at Promethean.

Stanley had been at Maverick since 2009, following a stint at Sony Professional from 2000 to 2009.

Maverick said in a press statement that Fagan has about 16 years of industry experience, including a previous seven years with parent company Computer 2000 and eight years as UK sales and marketing director at Epson.

"[At Epson, he was] leading a differentiated and multi-channel team with product and service specialisation in audiovisual, professional graphics and consumer technology, achieving record market shares in all these categories," according to Maverick.
