Mindteck Gets a New CEO & MD
Appoints Wayne Berkowitz, former channel marketing executive for IBM
Feb 17, 2012
Mindteck has appointed Wayne Berkowitz as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. He replaces Pankaj Agarwal who resigned for personal reasons. Berkowitz brings to Mindteck over 25 years of expertise in the IT sector, most notably with hands-on development of high performance sales teams, global operations management, and with consistent profit growth success.
Berkowitz was a channel marketing executive for IBM’s Software Group in Somers, NY. As Director of Worldwide Business Partner Marketing, he had business partner marketing responsibility across the 7 software brands -- Lotus, Rational, Tivoli, Websphere, Industry Solutions, Information Management and Business Analytics. This last position at IBM was preceded by eight others he held at IBM stretching over the course of 20 years, and only interrupted by an eight-year assignment with Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), an enterprise software engineering company based in Needham, MA.
Commenting on his appointment, Berkowitz said, “I’m truly thrilled to be on board. Mindteck has a solid platform from which many exciting opportunities can take shape. For instance, building upon their strong partnerships and alliances hold much promise, as do their Cloud initiative, and their focus on Industries such as Life Sciences, Smart Energy, and Semiconductors. I look forward to building upon the momentum in the marketplace, and to continuing to provide value to our clients throughout the world”.
