Broadliner TD SYNNEX France has created a Cybersecurity BU. Reporting to the Advanced Solutions division, this BU is managed by Kizitho Ilongo, who will report directly to Mathilde Bluteau, Vice President Advanced Solutions. This strategic reorganization aims to strengthen the presence of TD SYNNEX France on the cybersecurity market and to continue the development of the vendors in the current portfolio (Trend Micro, Stormshield, IDEE, as well as the Cyber solutions of our Core Vendors Cisco, IBM or Microsoft) but also to attract new ones.
“As Senior Director of the Cybersecurity BU, Kizitho Ilongo will lead an ambitious 3-year development plan, with the aim of placing us among the most relevant distributors in the cybersecurity field. He therefore takes over responsibility for the teams which were under the responsibility of Mickael Evangelista (Anthony Vecchies, Fabienne Sellem and their teams) and will rely on the quality of the developments accomplished and which I particularly welcome”, comments Mathilde Bluteau.
Previously working at CIS Valley by Koesio where he held the position of Sales and Marketing Director, Kizitho Ilongo has been working in the world of IT and cybersecurity for almost 20 years. He notably worked at Orange, Orange Business and Westcon France, of which he was director. These different professional experiences allow him to understand the challenges and expectations of key cybersecurity players: publishers, manufacturers and integrators.
“Kizitho will bring very strong experience in distribution and the cybersecurity ecosystem to TD SYNNEX. I am delighted with his arrival at TD SYNNEX and delighted to see him already at work to support our very strong ambition for development in this Cybersecurity market”, rejoices Mathilde Bluteau.
“The TD SYNNEX group is clearly showing its desire to step up its cybersecurity game. The Advanced Solutions division occupies a unique position within the IT ecosystem: nearly 230 employees, 40 expert engineers, a rich catalog of more than 80 publishers and thousands of customers spread across France. The creation of a Cybersecurity BU demonstrates the group's desire to go further by becoming a key player in this market”, comments Kizitho Ilongo.
