Infinigate nabs Kaspersky channel boss Catherine Oudot to lead in France

Oudot will oversee the expansion of Infinigate's cloud offering in the region

Value-added distributor Infinigate has appointed Catherine Oudot as managing director of Infinigate France.

Oudot joins from cybersecurity and anti-virus provider Kaspersky where he spent almost five and a half years heading up its channel business in France.

She has more than 20 years of channel experience at both distributors and suppliers such as Check Point and Malwarebytes.

In her new role, Oudot will leverage all the resources offered by Infinigate's recent acquisitions and ensure the development of its cloud solutions.

Her mission will be to strengthen the ties within the local team to make it a cohesive and ultra-efficient unit whose objective will be to bring added value to our partners, as well as to our suppliers, Infinigate said.

"I am delighted to help our partners take advantage of the opportunities offered by a dynamic French market, supported by the strong potential of Infinigate, so that they support their customers in the digital transformation process," Oudot said.

"We have a unique and innovative offer thanks to our highly specialised services and our expertise in the field of cybersecurity. I look forward to uniting the team and showing the leadership that will allow it to express its full potential.

Andreas Bechtold, Infinigate Group president for Europe, added: "The French market represents an extraordinary development opportunity for Infinigate.

"Catherine will take over the management of our French team to take advantage of the growth prospects available to us and our partners. Her expertise, experience, energy and determination are invaluable assets in carrying out this mission."
