Toal names as Bell Micro president of Europe

Bell Micro have appointed John Toal as president of its European operations tasked with responsibility for driving the continental operations.

Toal, who was previously director of enterprise sales, will take some of the weight off the shoulders of Graeme Watt, president of worldwide distribution, who will now concentrate on the global picture.

Toal is going to be charged with identifying new market opportunities in Europe and  said in a statement that he hoped he could expand the European business.

Graeme Watt said that Toal had proved his ability since joining Bell Micro in 2004, as part of the OpenPSL acquisition, and had helped grow the enterprise division.

“Based on his track record, he is an excellent choice to help us continue our quest to drive Bell Micro’s European business forward,” he said.

Earlier this week Bell Micro indicated that one of its plans was to increase the volume of security products it sold across.
