Intel has announced the appointment of Garry Cheung as the Australian channel account manager for Intel.

Cheung previously managed the Australian sites of Intel’s international network and infrastructure requirements. The new role will see him implement channel programs in Victoria, South Australia and New Zealand.

“I look forward to joining Intel’s reseller channel operations team and working closely with our channel customers in Australia and New Zealand. There are huge opportunities for the local channel to ramp Intel’s 45nm processor technology across desktop, server and mobile,” said Cheung.

Intel sees Cheung’s appointment as timely given the recent rollout of Intel’s 45nm processor product range.

“This year, we are very excited about our 45nm product ramp. Garry’s background in the IT industry and within Intel, places him in the ideal position to support our resellers and customers in the channel account manager role,” said Thomas Tapsas, national sales manager Reseller Channel Organisation, Intel.

Prior to joining Intel, Cheung held a position as an IT field engineer and rollout technician with the NSW Attorney General’s department.
