Infor has appointed Gary Hopwood as the Manufacturing Channel Manager for the Middle East recently. This appointment is a part of the company’s ongoing growth throughout the region and it hopes to expand the Infor Partner Network (IPN), from which 20 percent of the license revenue is generated through the channel partners.

Hopwood, based in the company’s Dubai office in Media city, will be responsible for developing the manufacturing channel partner network throughout UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Egypt and Libya. With over two decades of experience in conducting business throughout the region, Hopwood has held a number of sales roles at SAP for the last five years and has particular expertise in the aerospace and public sector vertical markets. 

 “Infor has seen incredible growth and momentum in the region as the micro-vertical strategy has been brought to bear on not only the various sectors within manufacturing but other industries as well,” said Alain Raflé, Regional Vice President, EMEA Channels, Infor.  “Combined with the new user interface, integration via ION and social business capabilities such as Infor Ming.le, our proposition for forward looking manufacturers in the Middle East is very strong indeed. In order to capitalise on this, we are looking for select partners that can match our passion for growth and Gary brings a wealth of experience to our Middle East operations.  We are very excited to welcome him to the team.”
