Congratulations to Peter Ryan, newly promoted EVP for Sun’s Global Sales and Services organisation (GSS). Peter has recently led the combined AMER Sales organisation (AMER stands for ‘Americas’) over the last year and a half, and prior to that he very successfully led the EMEA Sales organisation as EVP for the region.

Having worked with Peter during his tenure as EMEA EVP I’m sure he’ll be looking at fresh ways to engage with our customers, as he is immensely customer focused, with a real thirst for his role. Peter’s remit will also be covering a newly created Sun Business Unit, that of ‘Emerging Markets’, predominately made up the fast growing ‘BRICA’ countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and Africa).

Good luck in the new role Peter, I’m sure you’re more than up to it !

Of course all the very best of luck to Don Grantham, who is moving on to new opportunities.
