Former HP and Apple exec joins Scottish consultancy

Trevor Evans takes MD role at Consenna

Former HP and Apple exec Trevor Evans has joined consultancy firm Consenna as managing director.

Evans was most recently channel sales director at Apple - a role he held for seven years until January this year.

He said: "Having built my career leading businesses for some of the world's most respected technology companies, I have first-hand experience of the pressures and business dynamics confronted on a daily basis by customers we're seeking to work with.

"In an increasingly competitive market, both goals and resources are stretched further and further. I've walked in those shoes, I know the market, the key players within it, and this equips me to demonstrate how Consenna can help amplify and maximise their sales and marketing strategies."

Evans also had a six-year spell at HP, where he was channel director of the vendor's PC group in the UK.

Consenna was founded in 2009 and offers a range of technology solutions and professional services. It says its client list includes HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and BT.

Douglas Jeffrey, who will move from MD to chairman at Consenna, said: "I worked closely with Trevor while at HP and have witnessed his enviable skill set and dynamic leadership first-hand.

"His ability to consistently deliver impressive results, coupled with his consummate understanding of the customers we're seeking to work with, will serve Consenna well as we look for step-change growth in the coming few years.

"I am delighted to have him lead us into this exciting period of expansion."
