Avaya has confirmed the
appointment of ex-Motorola and Symbol Technologies man Michael Bayer as its new
EMEA field operations president. He replaces the outgoing Carlos Sartorius, who
has moved to Orange Business Services.
Bayer will now take
responsibility for regional sales and operations, with a particular focus on
delivering VoIP and other unified comms solutions to Avaya partners and
customers. According to Avaya, he will report to Todd Abbott, senior vice
president and president of field operations.
As
revealed by MicroScope in June, Bayer left Motorola, where he was vice
president and general manager of the firm’s Enterprise and Mobility business, having
focused on growing its vertical operations and partner base. He previously
served time with Cisco and T-Mobile.
