Estelle Johannes, director of Member Communities at UK at CompTIA, added: “Both Kristian and Steve have shown incredible commitment ever since they joined the Council, so it was an obvious choice to ask them to take on these new roles.
“We have no doubt that they are the ideal people to help the council grow and develop, and welcoming the experienced David and Mark as members will only make us stronger. The wealth of knowledge and experience our members have is staggering and the industry will only benefit from their advice.”
The next CompTIA UK Channel Community meeting will take place on the 23rd and 24th February 2016 in Leeds.
