Intact appoints senior executive to drive business development across Asia-Pacific region
Kevin Slaughter to head up Business Development for recently-formed Intact Integrated Services Pte Ltd operation in SingaporeIntact Integrated Services, the partner-focused independent provider of international project, support and managed services solutions to the ICT industry, has appointed Kevin Slaughter as Regional Business Development Director of Intact Integrated Services Pte Ltd, the company’s new Singapore-based operation. In his new role Kevin will be responsible for developing Intact’s presence across the Asia/Pacific region and building on Intact’s current success in Singapore providing Cisco-focused Managed Services support to major international organisations.
Kevin Slaughter joins Intact Integrated Services Pte Ltd from BT Global Services where, as Head of Partnerships – Asia-Pacific, he was responsible for managing the key Systems Integrator partners across the region driving the joint go-to-market programme. Before that he worked as Regional Partner Manager for BT Global Services in Switzerland, Central & Eastern Europe, after spending three years with Swisscom Solutions as Director of International Services. Kevin has spent almost 30 years working in the telecommunications and services sectors, primarily in sales, business development, partner and product management roles.
“Finding the right personnel is key to the successful development of our new Singapore-based operation, so I’m delighted that in Kevin Slaughter we’ve recruited a senior industry professional with the in-depth experience we need to grow the Intact business throughout the Asia-Pacific region,” commented Intact Integrated Services’ Chief Executive Officer, Bob Dalton. “In his role at BT Global Services, Kevin had first hand experience of the importance of building effective partner networks, and he understands exactly how Intact’s ‘best-of-breed’ services ecosystem is just the right model for today’s channel partners and their customers. We’re already developing a strong sales pipeline in the region, and we’re looking forward to the Asia/Pacific region representing a significant part of the broader Intact business going forward."
“Having spent the last 20 years working for major telco operations, it’s increasingly clear that a partnership approach to global managed services is a much more effective route than trying to build everything for yourself. That’s why Intact’s business model is so right for today’s services market, and why it’s such a strong proposition for the expanding Asia-Pacific market,” added Kevin Slaughter. “Over the coming months we’ll be developing our presence in the region, investing in premises and local engineering expertise, and recruiting further business development and project management staff to drive our continued business growth across Asia-Pacific.”
Intact’s distinctive INSPAN services infrastructure approach integrates the skills and capabilities of best-of-breed channel partners to create an active international Cisco services ecosystem across key global markets - such as the Asia/Pacific region. Intact’s INSPAN model allows the company to support its customers with an operational delivery capability that combines local ‘best-of-breed’ support and engineering resources with the discipline and infrastructure of Intact’s award-winning global Managed Service Centre approach.
