TP-Link promotes Kieran Vineer to distribution channel director for UK&I
The company veteran will now oversee distribution activity for TP-Link’s networking and surveillance channels across the region
TP-Link has announced the appointment of Kieran Vineer as its new distribution channel director for the UK and Ireland.
The appointment marks the next phase of the company’s efforts to drive channel growth through its business networking and surveillance solutions.
Vineer brings almost 20 years’ experience to his new role and has served at TP-Link since 2013, starting as distribution account manager before taking on the role of distribution channel manager.
During his time at TP-Link, he is credited with playing an instrumental role in the success of the firm’s distribution channel in the UK and Ireland, building key partner relationships and driving performance of its Omada cloud solutions.
In his new role, Vineer will head up distribution activity for TP-Link’s networking and surveillance channels in the region, covering day-to-day operations, customer engagement, and sales development.
In an announcement, Ben Allcock, TP-Link’s vice president of B2B for UK&I, said Vineer’s promotion underlines the company’s commitment to driving further channel growth.
“Kieran brings a wealth of experience in channel management, customer development and a clear commitment to driving the business forward,” he explained. “This expertise will be invaluable as TP-Link continues to strengthen its position across both distribution and surveillance markets.”
