A new and carefully curated team has been created to drive the initiative, with Pax8 visionary Phylip Morgan taking on the position of Senior Vice President (SVP) Marketplace and Channel Expansion, alongside Kevin MacDonald as Vice President (VP) of Strategic Partnership and Eric Mink as VP of AI Adoption.

The EMEA Centre of Excellence is a pivotal step in Pax8 dedicating more resources to further enable its partners to thrive in a transforming technological landscape. Pax8 will lead the charge in the evolving AI Agent revolution as businesses begin to re-evaluate how they operate and interact with technology. With this robust knowledge hub of thought leadership, training and collaboration in an ever-changing digital environment, Pax8 aims to empower its partners to embrace these technologies and navigate new strategies in the digital market.

This initiative marks our commitment to drive innovation and foster growth across the channel ecosystem.”

A focus of the Centre of Excellence will be equipping Pax8 partners with cutting-edge tools and strategies, keeping them ahead of industry shifts and enabling them to capitalise on emerging trends. Pax8 will help partners in developing their own intelligent agent solutions tailored to their needs and their customers’, alongside tools to harness AI for automation and customer interaction, creating future ready services that ensure agility in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

Eric Mink, VP of AI Adoption, EMEA says: "We are excited to launch the Centre of Excellence, which will serve as a hub for preparing partners for the agentification era, where AI agents will play a crucial role in transforming business workflows. By dedicating more resources to innovation, we can guide our partners more effectively, while staying ahead of the competition."

In an age where innovation never stops, speed matters. With the Centre of Excellence, Pax8 is doubling down on innovation, speed, and preparation for what’s next. Together, we’re not just keeping pace with change; we’re leading it.”
