Microsoft solutions partner and MSP Infinity Group has appointed Kevin Brown as sales director. The newly created role will see Brown join as the company’s first ever purely sales-focussed member of the leadership team.
With over 15 years of experience in the industry and deep knowledge of the Microsoft technology stack, Brown has driven growth and innovation in senior leadership and sales roles at leading IT services and consultancy organisations, from MSP Pythagoras (acquired by EY in 2021) to Arrk Group.
Most recently, he served as the sales director at HSO, where he led a team and significantly increased the company’s market share.
He said: “I am extremely energised to take up this exciting opportunity to contribute to what is already an amazing journey at Infinity. The decision to join was easy, given the opportunity to be part of an organisation uniquely placed to build something truly special in the Microsoft space. I can’t wait to see what the coming months hold.”
Rob Young, CEO, Infinity Group, added: “Kevin joins Infinity Group at a key stage in our growth journey. Our focus this year is on consolidation and developing IP that meets the shifting requirements of our clients. As organisations seek to supercharge automation with AI and unlock the power and potential of their data, trusted technology partners will be crucial.”
