Xelion hires NEC’s Nick Thompson

Thompson joins the specialist UC solutions vendor after 20-years at NEC.

Xelion has announced it has appointed Nick Thompson as partner manager.

Thompson joins Xelion following a 20-year stint at NEC Enterprise Solutions, most recently as channel manager for the UK and Ireland. Prior to that, he worked in telecoms installation, technical support and maintenance roles.

Thompson said, “Xelion presents the perfect blend of excellent company culture, a ground-breaking solution and a nurturing approach with their partner programme.

“Xelion is the optimum size for a business comms vendor – large enough to deliver a serious proposition to partners, yet agile enough to respond to the ever-changing challenges the channel presents. This is a unique opportunity.”

Dave Reynolds, managing director, Xelion UK, commented, “I’m delighted with Nick’s appointment. His enthusiasm, knowledge, experience and network are second to none, and I’m very confident that he’ll help us continue to expand our partner base and help more customers simplify communication.

“The last 12 months have been full of milestones for us. We’ve expanded into new markets, added more brilliant features and completed a stunning rebrand. Nick’s appointment shows our intention to carry on that trajectory of growth. I look forward to working with Nick and wish him every success in his new role.”
