He brings extensive knowledge of the distributor and vendor relationship in his previous roles at Odin and as general manager of Microsoft Poland, general manager for Dell in Eastern Europe, and senior VP of strategic industries in EMEA with SAP.
Murawski will replace Tasneem Baldiwala, who has been promoted to a strategic planning and execution role within Ingram Micro EMEA.
