Camwood would like to introduce Andrew Carr to the team. Andrew joined the business on 21st March 2022 as the new Managing Director, he has an array of skills that he has honed over his tenure in the technology channel. Andrew is the custodian of the business and its Chief Evangelist, ensuring that we can drive growth and embrace opportunities presented to us in the market.
My Background
Throughout my career, I have held several executive positions across various sectors and been on numerous organisation Boards. I was most recently General Manager of Professional Services at 6 Degrees and before that Director of Professional Services at SCC. I have worked in the channel and technology sector since I graduated from University, initially starting my journey as a tele salesperson for an analyst company when Windows NT was first launched. I prefer to be called experienced than a veteran as technology is ever-changing and therefore, I am always embracing and championing innovative solutions.
Having worked in the channel I had visibility of Camwood and its position within the Technology Channel for a few years and throughout the interview process I was able to meet some of the team and their passion and commitment got me enthused which was a key factor for me. I am very excited by the opportunity to grow the business as I believe that we have barely scratched the surface of what we can do for our customers and partners. I am very keen to accelerate our profile and growth to match our amazing skillset.
My Vision for Camwood:
Having been able to do some informal drop-in sessions, I see a bright and innovative future for Camwood, and I feel to Grow, Deliver and Accelerate our focus is split into three key buckets: Our People, Our Culture, and The Opportunity.
Our People & Culture
People and culture are our biggest assets and I want to ensure we continue to work hard and with a smile on our faces. I can’t emphasise enough how important our people are; the entrepreneurial spirit, the flexibility, and the customer-centricity are all things that truly make us different and contribute to our success. We also have as industry-standard setters some unique Intellectual Property that we need to further exploit.
The Opportunity
With regards to the opportunity, we have a fantastic portfolio of clients and we want to expand that further, so my goal is to enhance our external profile to be recognised as Industry Leaders in our field, I would also aim to onboard some new direct customers and partners. I want to use my experience in the channel to lead Camwood forward into the next 20 years and inspire people both internally and externally driving and embracing change and innovation in the market.
I aim to do this with my team while having some fun along the way.
