Networking vendor D-Link has announced Paul Routledge will take charge of the firm’s sales and marketing in the UK and Ireland.

Routledge was previously responsible for D-Link’s European business development, spearheading the firm’s growth in IP surveillance and storage in the region.

Routledge describes the promotion as “an exciting new challenge”. He says: “UKI is one of D-Link’s biggest potential growth markets in Europe and I’m looking forward to the challenge of expanding our footprint here further.”

Routledge will report into Luigi Salmoiraghi, sales and marketing director Southern Europe and UKI, who says: “Paul has been key to driving D-Link growth in the IP surveillance and storage markets across Europe. Now he can capitalise on his experience and lead the UKI team to achieve organic and sustainable growth in the traditional channel, while developing new business opportunities and partnerships.”

Before his appointment at D-Link Routledge held business development and channel sales management roles with vendors and distribution partners including CCI Distribution, Adaptec and Eurologic Systems.
