Ingram Micro names Alain Monié CEO
2012-01-30
Broadliner Ingram Micro has promoted Alain Monié to CEO. Monié, who will also retain his current title of president, succeeds Gregory Spierkel, who will remain at the company until April 15, 2012, to assist in the management transition. Monié, a 61yo French national, is currently the company's president and COO. He joined Ingram Micro as executive vice president in January 2003 and was appointed president of the APAC region a year later. He was promoted to president and COO of the corporation in August 2007 and resigned three years later to become chief executive officer of April Management, a Singapore-based pulp and paper industry giant. On Nov. 1, 2011, Monié returned to Ingram Micro in his current role, re-assuming his prior responsibilities : a nearly flawless engagement for someone who was groomed to be Spierkel's successor. Before Ingram Micro, Monié was the head of LATAM operations at Honeywell International and APAC operations at Allied Signal, where he led the company's expansion into China and India. Monié has been a member of the board of directors of Amazon since November 2008, and was recently elected to the board of Ingram Micro in November 2011.
