At Ingram Micro, we believe in the power of our people. Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our Cloud Team, where innovation meets dedication. We sat down with Christoph Zapatka, a Presales Engineer based in Germany, who has been with us for almost three years, to hear about his journey.
Christoph’s role within the Cloud Team is multifaceted and dynamic. “I develop and lead webinars aimed to enable our partners at cloud topics. As part of my role, I support my colleagues with any technical questions. I also help partners with technical topics”, he shares.
A typical day for Christoph involves appointments to help partners on their cloud journey “I bring them up to speed on new cloud topics, discuss migration scenarios, and plan cloud solution architectures. Another part of my day is meetings where I team up with my sales colleagues and use my technical knowledge to get new partners and support the ones already with us”, he explains.
Christoph’s role is crucial to the overall goals of the cloud organization. “Since my expertise is needed in pre-and post-sales, in getting new partners and keeping the current ones, I am deciding element in achieving our goals”, he says. He is proud to have been part of the team that won the local “Partner of the Year” award last year, a testament to his hard work and dedication.
Ingram Micro supports professional growth and career development, encouraging continuous learning and achievement. “In my time at Ingram Micro, I have been supported on every step in my career path”, Christoph shares.
