Griggs and his team will develop and manage SI relationships across
functional areas, from business and offering development, to sales and
marketing. SIs play an increasingly significant role guiding customer
planning and decision making to introduce emerging technologies designed
to enhance and grow their business. Integration with Avaya’s
industry-leading portfolio of unified communications and contact center
platforms can amplify the business impact.
“As a proven strategist who delivers business growth with partners, Ron
Griggs is an outstanding addition to our team,” said Jim Chirico,
President and CEO, Avaya. “He has a deep understanding of the needs and
requirements in engaging and building new practices with SIs as we
expand our partner ecosystem to deliver differentiated business value to
customers.”
Griggs comes to Avaya from Deloitte, where he was responsible for
alliance sales executive management for Cloud, Digital, Networking and
Security Vendors. He also spent more than 20 years at Accenture,
ultimately serving as a managing director/partner for over a decade in a
tenure marked by significant revenue and market share growth. Griggs
earlier career includes stints at Sequent Computer Systems, which was
acquired by IBM, Robec Distributors and Unisys. He is a graduate of
DePaul University, with a BS degree in management and marketing.
“SIs are proving to be great enablers for digital transformation,
although it becomes a greater challenge for them to understand how to
map and merge the many diverse technologies available into highly
functional systems that will bring the greatest benefits to a business,”
said Griggs. “I look forward to rolling up my sleeves with these
partners, helping them learn what our solutions offer, and exploring how
we can integrate with other technologies to deliver innovative business
models and entirely new value for themselves and their clients.”
