Intel appoints new channel manager

Intel has appointed a new channel manager for Australia and New Zealand, welcoming former distribution manager V.R Rajkumar into the role. 

Rajkumar first joined Intel India in 2000, moving to the chip maker’s Australian operation in 2005. He is charged with managing Intel’s channel base and sales team across A/NZ. 

Recently appointed Intel A/NZ general manager Kate Burleigh said Rajkumar’s experience positioned him to lead Intel’s partners. 

“During his 12 years at Intel, Raj has amassed a great deal of knowledge. He is well-known within the IT reseller channel and has presided over a number of critical technology transitions and new product introductions within his time, the most recent being the launch of Intel’s 3rd Generation processors and Ultrabook computers,” she said in a statement. 

Intel also today announced the appointment of PR manager Anna Torres to national marketing manager, responsible for managing Intel’s A/NZ team of advertising, PR, retail, online and channel marketing. 

Torres’ promotion marks the latest step in a nine-year career at Intel.
