CLEARWATER, FL (July 25, 2000) - Tech Data Corp. today announced the promotions of Néstor Cano to president of its worldwide operations and Graeme Watt to president of Tech Data Europe. The appointments coincide with the resignation of the company's current president of Europe, Karl Pohler, to pursue other opportunities. The senior management changes are all effective August 1, 2000.
Cano is currently Tech Data's president of the Americas, and Watt is regional managing director for the company's international sales group with responsibilities that include overseeing business in the UK, Ireland, Nordic region, Baltic countries and the Middle East.
"One of the hallmarks of Tech Data is the strength and depth of our management team," commented Steven A. Raymund, Tech Data's chairman and chief executive officer. "While it is unfortunate to see Karl leave for other interests, and we certainly appreciate his many contributions, the appointments announced today ensure we have the leadership in place to continue our strong worldwide sales and profit growth. Néstor and Graeme are exceptional talents who bring tremendous experience to their new positions."
"It has been a very productive and exciting time for me to work for this great company," remarked Pohler. "The decision to leave has been far from easy, but after lengthy consideration I have decided to pursue another opportunity. I leave many friends here, and they are assured of continuing their dominant position in the European IT distribution market. I wish the company well."
Néstor Cano
Néstor Cano joined Tech Data's headquarters team in January 1999 as executive vice president of sales and marketing, and he was appointed president of the Americas in December. Among the many achievements under his leadership, Tech Data's growth in the Americas has dramatically outpaced that of all competitors. Cano's industry experience included 10 years with the company's Computer 2000 subsidiary in Europe. As managing director overseeing operations in Spain and Portugal, he developed an extremely efficient and highly profitable organization. Prior to Computer 2000, he was a partner and managing director at CCR Informatica, a Barcelona-based reseller. He is fluent in Catalan, which is his native language, as well as English and Spanish.
