SANTA ANA, Calif., Oct. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM), the world's largest technology distributor, today
announced that Alain Monie will
re-join the company as president and chief operating officer, a
position he held from 2007 to 2010 after leading the company's
Asia-Pacific region.
Effective Nov. 1, 2011, Monie will
be responsible for the company's operating units, reporting to
Gregory M. Spierkel, chief executive officer. The four
regional presidents and executive vice president of global
logistics, who currently report to Spierkel, will now report to
him.
"I'm pleased to welcome Alain back to Ingram Micro," said
Spierkel. "He is an outstanding and worldly leader, fluent in
three languages with first-hand business experience in many corners
of the globe. He played a critical role in the development of
our Asia-Pacific business,
including the acquisition of Tech Pacific in 2004, and later led
operational improvements that enhanced performance throughout the
organization. He has proven to be a strong executive partner,
with good strategic thinking and excellent attention to detail.
I look forward to working with him again."
Monie, 60, joined Ingram Micro as executive vice president in
January 2003 and was appointed
president of the Asia-Pacific
region a year later. He was promoted to president and chief
operating officer of the corporation in August 2007 and resigned three years later to
become chief executive officer of APRIL Management Pte., a
multi-national industrial company based in Asia. Before Ingram Micro, Monie was the
head of Latin American operations at Honeywell International and
Asia-Pacific operations at Allied
Signal Inc., where he led the company's expansion into China and India.
"It's a great time to return to Ingram Micro because of the
multiple opportunities that are within the company's reach," said
Monie. "The company's improvements in systems infrastructure,
coupled with its investments in business-model expansions, will
drive greater operating performance, provide better and more
comprehensive service for our customers and partners, and truly
leverage our global footprint. I look forward to
re-establishing my connections with the company's resellers,
vendors, talented management team and associates."
