Peter Tebbutt appointed as Country Sales Director at Alcatel-Lucent

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has announced the appointment of Peter Tebbutt as Country Sales Director for the UK & Ireland. Tebbutt, who previously held the position of Global Strategic Business Development Director for Network Infrastructure, takes over from David Parker who is moving to manage the company’s Channel Sales and Pre-Sales teams for the North American region.

In his new position Tebbutt will build upon recent major wins Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise earned in the UK for Campus Networks, whilst also working to develop the company's channels for Data Centre Switching. This focus is in line with market reports from Infonetics Research which show that Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is one of the fastest growing player in Data Centre Switching players in EMEA.

Tebbutt will also look to strengthen the company's position in the Unified Access Market for campus networks, whilst also offering customers and partners an evolutionary Unified Communications strategy that helps businesses of all sizes fully leverage existing investments through multi-party, multi-media and multi-device conversations. Tebbutt will also drive the extension of Alcatel-Lucent's current offering into the cloud, through the company's business partner network.

Tebbutt brings extensive experience to the role having spent the last three years driving the network infrastructure business within EMEA and worldwide. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise operates 100% via its channel base and Tebbutt will look to further develop relationships with existing resellers. He will bring his experience from other geographies to the UK&I with the aim of further establishing the company's go-to-market and market share in the network, data centre switching and unified communications markets.
