AppSmart Expands Leadership Team to Drive Next Phase of Growth

AppSmart welcomes channel veteran Renee Bergeron as the SVP and General Manager, bringing more than 25 years of channel and leadership experience to the team.

San Francisco, CA - 3/4/2020 - AppSmart®, the largest B2B recurring technology services marketplace, announced today a series of strategic hires and leadership changes. With this reorganization, AppSmart is well-positioned to help any organization make better, faster and more cost-effective technology decisions around voice, internet, SaaS, IaaS, security and IoT solutions.

Renee Bergeron, a seasoned channel leader, will be leading AppSmart as the Senior Vice President and General Manager. Her 25 years of general management and channel experience - most recently as SVP, Global Cloud at Ingram Micro - will help propel AppSmart’s next phase of growth. She will be responsible for AppSmart strategy, sales, marketing, service delivery, and business development.

“I am thrilled to join AppSmart. I have been impressed with AppSmart’s laser focus on making channel partners successful,” said Renee Bergeron. “Over the past 10 years, I have seen how the growth of the cloud is changing the channel. AppSmart represents a completely new proposition for partners to not only align themselves for the massive cloud opportunity, but also deliver a full digital services catalog (telecom, networking, energy and IoT) to their customers.”

Also joining the AppSmart executive team is Brian Leonard as Vice President of Marketing. Brian comes to AppSmart from RapidScale where he ran global cloud marketing strategy and helped drive RapidScale's successful acquisition by Cox Business. Previously, Brian ran marketing at Intelisys. At AppSmart, Brian will be responsible for events, digital, demand generation, brand and product marketing.
