Dathan will report directly to Steve Dodenhoff, whose role as president of U.S. operations has expanded to oversight of all North American operations.

Prior to being named to his new role, Dathan served as vice president and general manager for Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Canada, responsible for leading HPE’s Canadian sales organization. Dathan joins Insight with more than 30 years of sales and business management experience in the IT industry.  

In his new role, Dathan will foster deep partner relationships and meaningful connections with clients to help them efficiently manage their current IT needs and transform ahead of future challenges. He will guide Insight Canada’s overall strategy to meet customer needs through unique processes, tools and services provided via Insight Intelligent Technology Solutions™ in Supply Chain Optimization, Connected Workforce, Cloud and Data Center Transformation, and Digital Innovation.

Dathan joined HP in 2014 to lead the networking business in Canada; his role evolved to several sales leadership positions prior to his final executive position there. Over a nine-year tenure at Juniper Networks starting in 2005, he grew the business by more than 500 percent.
