Why it matters: - K Group is putting a longtime internal leader in charge of growth as the company looks to expand beyond its current geographic reach. - The promotion is designed to strengthen sales leadership across K Group’s IT, operational technology, business technology and physical security businesses. - The move also signals a push to scale the sales organization and deepen strategic accounts and partnerships.
