Throughout his more than 20-year career with Ingram Micro, Robinson has made a notable impact on the success of Ingram Micro’s U.S. sales teams and led several key initiatives including the launch of the distributor’s proprietary Business Intelligence Center in 2009, which has since grown into one of the company’s most valuable service differentiators. Under his continued leadership, the Commercial Markets Division and the distributor’s SMB business unit have set record growth rates and enabled hundreds of new channel partners to grow faster and more efficiently. Robinson joined Ingram Micro in 1993 as a sales representative and worked his way up to sales director. In 2003, he moved into the marketing department as senior director, channel programs and in 2004, he was promoted to customer and solutions marketing vice president. In 2006, Robinson was named vice president of North America channel marketing before being appointed in 2010, vice president of VAR sales, market development, and business intelligence. Shortly thereafter, Robinson became the vice president of Ingram Micro’s U.S. Commercial Markets Division. He was promoted to senior vice president in January 2013.
