NetApp awarded ALEF! We are Regional Distributor of the Year in the EMEA & LATAM regions!

The NetApp Partner Awards are the annual highlight for NetApp’s channel. This year’s hosts Giovanna Sangiorgi, Senior Vice President EMEA & LATAM, and Kristian Kerr, Vice President EMEA & LATAM Partner Organization, introduced 18 categories that celebrate partners who stand out for their pursuit of excellence, innovation, and quality.

“For the last three years, enterprises in EMEA and LATAM had to rapidly adapt to macroeconomic fluctuations and a less-than-dependable supply chain. These are times in which resilient and dependable partners are worth their weight in gold,” summarizes Kristian Kerr. “It is crucial that we harness the power of partnerships. One of our best are ALEF, who we rightfully named our Regional Distributor of the Year. It was a pleasure to be back, meeting face-to-face, and celebrating together with them!”

“ALEF has been supporting our joint partners and customers with innovative solutions and programs to set-up a benchmark in IT distribution for more than three decades. NetApp is our true business partner, we are proud to be recognized as NetApp’s ambassador in the region. Our cross-country teams thrive to empower organizations to manage their data in both private and public cloud environments with excellence. This award acknowledges that we are on the right track, and we are looking forward to the next phase of our collaboration” says Bratimir Timotijevic, Strategic Alliances Manager, ALEF Group
