0Overall Score

Emerson Network Power Australia has appointed Steve Lovelace to the position of New South Wales Channel Account Manager.

Lovelace joins Emerson following a three-year spell at Ingram Micro where he was responsible for managing the Liebert product portfolio. He has total of seven years experience in the Australian IT channel.

The appointment follows Emerson’s decision to move its national distribution from Ingram Micro to LAN Systems, a move Lovelace says is consistent with the company’s current channel direction.

Lovelace will be responsible for all channel activities in NSW for Emerson’s Liebert range of Micro Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) products, assisting resellers with a range of services including technical support and bid preparation.

“LAN Systems is widely regarded as a channel leader for Cisco, and given our close engineering partnership with Cisco the move to LAN is a logical one for us,” said Lovelace. “It’s also consistent with our focus on power protection for newer technologies like IP telephony, where Liebert has developed Cisco-compatible products for mission-critical applications in the SMB space.”

“We’re delighted to have Steve on board full time,” said Bob Daniel, Managing Director, Emerson Network Power Australia. “Steve’s experience in the channel is second-to-none, and he’s already proven his proficiency with Liebert during his time at Ingram. I personally look forward to Steve’s input in growing our channel presence in the region.”
