Software provider CA has appointed a former Dell executive to head up its channel business in the UK.

Mike Feltwell, who worked at Dell as public sector sales manager, government and defence, steps into a newly created role which CA hopes will help the firm drive business growth in the UK channel.

"With Mike's background, he has the key credentials required to accelerate the strengthening and growth of our entire UK indirect route to market. The creation of this position further highlights CA's increasing focus on our indirect business."

Feltwell said: "I am excited to be joining CA at a great time for the channel, especially with lots of new partners initiatives recently announced. I also look forward to meeting all of our partners over the coming year." ®
