Digi International, a global provider of IoT connectivity products and services, appointed Dane Surkamer as VP of global channel sales. Surkamer, who has a track record in sales leadership and a focus on managed services, is part of Digi’s renewed commitment to a channel-centric strategy.
“At Digi, we are committed to driving innovation and growth, and that starts with bringing in top talent that shares our vision,” said Tony Puopolo, president and GM, Digi’s Mobile Solutions Business unit. “Dane’s extensive experience and channel-focused mindset align perfectly with our goals and his leadership will play a pivotal role as we continue to expand our global channel presence and provide our channel ecosystem with the solutions, tools and support they need to succeed.”
In this, Surkamer will be responsible for accelerating revenue growth through Digi’s channel network, and will be an instrumental part of the company’s channel program — with a heavy focus on growth, streamlining processes and making it even easier for VARs and MSPs to collaborate with Digi.
“I am excited to join Digi at such a dynamic time,” said Surkamer. “My vision is to create a seamless and straightforward experience for our distribution channel, ensuring they have the resources and support to thrive. Digi’s innovative solutions, combined with a simplified channel program, position us to unlock new opportunities and drive mutual success.”
Prior to joining Digi, Surkamer was the senior director of sales for managed services with Cradlepoint. In this position, he led efforts to expand the business. His expertise in growing revenue through channel relationships is expected to be instrumental in advancing Digi’s channel initiatives and strengthening relationships with new and existing channel partners.
