Robert Deshaies, currently regional vice president of Microsoft's East Region Small and Mid-Market Solutions and Partners organization, is slated to become the new chief of the software giant's U.S. Partner Group effective July 1. He replaces Margo Day, who plans to step aside after five years and take a job in the field as regional vice president of the Western region for Microsoft's SMSP group.
A 12-year Microsoft veteran, Deshaies discussed his channel philosophy and potential changes in the sales trenches in an interview with CRN Editor In Chief Heather Clancy, News Editor Steven Burke and Senior Editor Paula Rooney.
