Emma de Sousa heads for Insight exit doors

EMEA president stepping down as of 31 December

Insight's EMEA president, Emma de Sousa, has called time on her nearly 20 year-stint at the reseller giant.

De Sousa will step down from her role as of 31 December 2022, a company statement confirmed.

Filling her shoes as of 2 January 2023 will be Adrian Gregory, an Atos executive who has previously run its Northern European and APAC business.

De Sousa moved into the EMEA president role just under three years ago, having previously led the UK business.

"It was a very difficult decision to make, but it has been a privilege to be part of this wonderful organisation that continually strives for greatness and lives by its core values of hunger, heart and harmony," de Sousa said in a canned statement.

"We have enormous respect for the decision that Emma has made, and we fully support her," Insight CEO Joyce Mullen added.

"We thank her for her phenomenal leadership and many years of success leading the UK and our EMEA business. Widely respected both with the industry and Insight, I'd also like to pay tribute to Emma's enduring commitment to building a high performance, highly inclusive culture at Insight. We have taken this opportunity to look carefully at the market and have found a terrific successor in Adrian."
