Monié sets out Ingram Micro strategy
Incoming Ingram Micro CEO Alain Monié has pledged to improve productivity within the business, grow its higher margin speciality business and invest heavily in its cloud proposition.
Speaking on his first results call since taking over the role from Greg Spierkel last month, Monié said there were three key imperatives for the distributor.
"We need to continue to improve productivity in our traditional distribution business to ensure we have the optimal enviornment to foster growth and deepen profitability for the high volume machine," said Monié.
"Two, we must ghrow our higher margin speciality business faster; these relatively small revenue contributors bring significantly better operating income. Three, we will continue to invest to remain a leader by driving innovation such as our cloud platform and marketplace," he continued.
