president of its EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region. Andreoli
will be responsible for directing Sun’s EMEA sales and services which
today represents close to 40% of the company’s business. He assumes
this position from Sun executive vice president, Crawford Beveridge,
who served in the role during the search and now returns to his current
role of EVP and Chairman of EMEA, APAC and the Americas with

Andreoli joins Sun, reporting to Don Grantham, executive vice
president, Global Sales and Services, with more than 25-years of
technology, sales and leadership experience having most recently served

semiconductors, data storage, networking, IP communications, IT/data
center services, software as a service and IP community networks. Prior
to joining cc-hubwoo he was president and CEO at Xiotech. His career
includes 14-years at Texas Instruments where he most recently served as
corporate vice president and general manager of EMEA and nearly
five-years at StorageTek where he served as corporate vice president
and general manager of International Operations. He also served in
executive leadership roles at Verio (NTT Group) as president and COO
and at McData Corporation (now Brocade) as EVP of Worldwide Sales and
Services.

"Throughout his career, Alain has consistently delivered superior
business results and I’m confident he’ll do the same at Sun. Alain’s
strong sales track-record and customer service experience is second to
none. As we continue to execute on our plan for sustained growth and
profitability, Alain’s extensive sales leadership and proven ability to
deliver superior value to customers and partners will be a huge asset,"
said Don Grantham, executive vice president, Sun Global Sales and
Services.
