/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE:IM), the world's
largest technology distributor, today promoted Alain Maquet to
senior vice president and president, Ingram Micro Latin America,
effective March 1, 2005. Maquet is currently senior vice president,
southern and western Europe, with overall responsibility for Ingram
Micro's operations in France, Belgium, Italy, The Netherlands and
Spain, as well as a sales office in Portugal. In his new role, he
will replace Asger Falstrup, who retired from the company in
December 2004, and will report to Kevin M. Murai, president, Ingram
Micro Inc. "Alain has driven outstanding results from the
operations under his leadership," said Murai. "He and his team have
improved the results of already-impressive performers and
transformed struggling operations into stars. He has had
responsibility for multiple countries for nearly 10 years, so I'm
confident that his strong management expertise will benefit our
operations in Latin America." Maquet will become an officer of the
corporation and a member of the worldwide executive team, said Kent
B. Foster, chairman and chief executive officer, Ingram Micro Inc.
"Alain is an exemplary leader with the proven ability to deliver
top results during periods of environmental and organizational
change," said Foster. "He is a true expert in his field, with a
deep understanding of technology and distribution. Like many of our
executives, he has an entrepreneurial spirit, with experience
building several companies before joining Ingram Micro more than a
decade ago. He is an excellent complement to our management team."
Murai added: "Alain will have the support of a skilled Latin
American management team, which includes David Schoenberger,
currently the region's interim president. David has demonstrated
strong leadership and operational acumen in this interim role,
paving the way for a smooth presidential transition. He will
continue as interim president through the end of February and
return to his position as the region's chief financial officer on
March 1. We sincerely thank him for his outstanding contributions
to the region and our company." In Latin America, Maquet will lead
a region with full operations in Mexico, Brazil and Chile and an
export division that serves Central and South America and the
Caribbean. He joined Ingram Micro in 1993 as the managing director
of France and added additional countries to his responsibilities
before being promoted to his current position in 2001. His career
spans 30 years, 23 of which are in the technology industry, and he
co-founded an IT distribution company before his employment at
Ingram Micro. He and his family will be relocating from the north
of France to a home near Ingram Micro's Latin American headquarters
in Miami. "Latin American results have steadily improved in 2004
and I plan to build on some of the recent achievements," Maquet
said. "I already know many members of the regional management team
and I have tremendous respect for their abilities. I look forward
to working with them to deliver further success for the Latin
American region." About Ingram Micro Inc. As a vital link in the
