Hasan Out
We wrote earlier this year about the appointment of Shiraz Hasan as AT&T’s vice president of Partner Exchange and ecosystem innovation. He replaced Christopher Roy, who joined EarthLink Internet in February.
However, Hasan has left AT&T and is now working as chief revenue officer at Drivewyze Software
“Earlier this month I wrapped up a very fulfilling and rewarding 18 years at AT&T,” Hasan wrote on LinkedIn. “It has been an amazing journey. I will always be grateful to all the people I got an opportunity to work with and work for. I worked with some amazing leaders and made some lifelong friendships along the way. AT&T will always be part of my life and family.”
AT&T Partner Exchange launched in 2013 and has grown from five reseller members to more than 600.
