This week's Westcon Team Profile ::
Profiling Andrew Wilmot
Andrew has worked in the IT industry for 12 years, after completing a graduate degree in Information Systems. He's moved through various technical, management and sales roles during this period and has held MCSE, CNE, HP ASE and CCNA qualifications previously.
Since moving into sales and the world of distribution, Andrew has worked for ITX as a Citrix BDM and has been with Westcon now for nearly 5 years as a Cisco BDM based in Perth looking after the WA and SA territories. Andrew prides himself on his personal approach, backed by a sound technical knowledge and can-do attitude which enables him to assist customers quickly and efficiently. When not at work you will sometimes find Andrew trail riding on his off-road motorcycle or kite boarding on the Swan River, though these days you're more likely to find him at home doting on his 9 month old son!
