Irish IT and security solutions distributor DataSolutions is officially rebranding to Climb Channel Solutions Ireland as the distributor eyes up expansion in key markets across Europe.
After the purchase of Dublin-based DataSolutions last October, Climb Channel Solutions said it is now focusing on its growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Nasdaq listed Climb is an IT distribution and solutions company with operations in the US, Canada and Europe.
Climb Channel Solutions Ireland said it expects to generate 12% growth in this region during its 2024 financial year and also said it anticipates 12-15% global growth this year after a successful 2023 which saw it surpass €1 billion in revenues globally.
The company said its expansion will be driven by mergers and acquisitions and Climb Channel Solutions recently acquired Douglas Stewart Software & Services in the US.
Climb Channel Solutions Ireland will be pivotal to the company’s growth plans due to its success driven by longstanding relationships with high-performing Tier 1 technology vendors in Ireland – including HP Aruba, Check Point and Citrix. It also introduced a number of new vendors to the Irish market earlier this year including SolarWinds, Quest Software and SmartBear.
As part of the rebrand, David Keating was made Country Manager of Ireland for Climb Channel Solutions.
Roberta McCrossan also stepped into a new role as EMEA Marketing Director, with Brian Davis now serving as VP of Sales for the UK and Ireland, Kamel Kerbib taking up the role of Country Manager for France, and Patrick Van Arendonk assuming the position of Sales Director for Benelux.
Martin Bichler was also appointed Country Manager for the DACH region.
David Keating, Country Manager for Climb Channel Solutions Ireland, said that the merging of DataSolutions and Climb Channel Solutions has been a gradual process over the past year and the official rebrand now marks a new and exciting chapter for the business as it looks to continue on its growth trajectory and expand further in Europe.
