Kogent Corporation (http://www. kogent360.com), the first North American firm dedicated exclusively to providing prebuilt, industry-specific Business Intelligence solutions, has appointed Dwayne Andrews as its new Vice President, Eastern Canadian Operations. Andrews will spearhead Kogent’s strategic expansion into the Canadian market to provide BI, Data Warehousing and Analytics solutions that help companies make smarter business decisions.
“Dwayne Andrews has a proven track record of achievement in sales and delivery operations and will provide the strategic leadership required to expand our product, training (http://www. kogent360.com/Training/business-intelligence-courses. aspx) and services offerings,” said Brian Jordan, Executive Vice President at Kogent. “His established relationships with our leading vendors are strong, and he will aggressively leverage those connections to provide stellar Business Intelligence engagements to our Canadian customers. We look forward to Dwayne’s continued success with Kogent.”
Before joining Kogent, Andrews served as Vice President, National Sales, at Dunn Solutions Group, where he parlayed his initial success at strategic development in the eastern United States to eventually take over national sales and manage four regional offices nationwide. At Dunn Solutions, Andrews built inroads into previously underserved regional markets and key verticals such as Financial Services, Banking, Manufacturing, and Government agencies.
Prior to Dunn Solutions, Andrews was Regional Director of Sales for various divisions of Aliant, a subsidiary of Bell Canada, where he deftly established his respective Aliant divisions as the go-to IT partner in the Canadian & US market space.
“I’m excited to be returning to my former home of Toronto (http://www. toronto. ca/) to lead Kogent’s strategic development in eastern Canada,” said Andrews. “Business executives in Toronto are seeking better organizational alignment, visibility and confidence in their decision-making processes, and Kogent will provide the cutting-edge Business Intelligence technology to accomplish those business goals. I am confident that my experience in implementing significant BI solutions in the US will translate extremely well into Canada’s leading business market.”
Andrews, a Canada native, has over 17 years of Information Technology sales experience and will quickly become a trusted advisor to Kogent’s Canadian customers.
