Read Chris's authored content here"In this post-pandemic world, Six Degrees’ catalogue of secure, cloud-led technologies has never been more relevant. Six Degrees advocates the importance of digital transformation for businesses to survive and thrive; as we look set to remain in ‘unprecedented times’, this is just as vital for us, too.
Six Degrees has undertaken a huge amount of work over the last 12 months to reshape itself and its services in line with the needs of businesses today. I'm excited to be picking up the mantle and sharing with our first-rate portfolio of customers, along with the wider market, what their own ‘great leap forward’ could look like.
Gareth is our Chief Revenue Officer, and he joined Six Degrees in late-2021. Gareth brings with him over 15 years’ experience guiding businesses through digital transformation, particularly in areas aligned with Six Degrees’ own expertise: public cloud, cyber security, agile workspace technology and professional services. Gareth joined Six Degrees from Rackspace, where he was most recently Sales Director.
Read Gareth's authored content here“The last few years have brought about a fundamental shift in how we do business. Organisations now better understand that cloud and cyber security are a journey, rather than a destination. Ways to optimise growth and ROI are constantly evolving, even as an increasingly complicated data security landscape presents greater reputational, financial and legal risks. Finding the right partner to guide your business is absolutely critical. I’m thrilled to work with Six Degrees, with its impressive track record of working with its clients to shape a technology roadmap that protects and promotes their businesses.”
