Channel titans Jo Ryan and Rich Crossingham join Pangea team

We’re pleased to welcome Channel titans Jo Ryan and Rich Crossingham into the Pangea team!

As Business Development Directors coming straight from a leading UK MNO, they’ll be using their telecoms knowledge and strong industry networks to establish new partnerships and deepen our relationships with current partners.

With 24 years of telecoms experience, Jo is one of the Channel’s frontrunning experts in IoT and communications. Having won business worth a total of £1.5m in 2019 alone, she’s an ace at pinpointing opportunities for partners, especially technology providers. Her wealth of knowledge and skill will be invaluable for us, and everyone in our partner programme.

‘IoT is packed with opportunities for businesses ready to make the leap; and Pangea are lauded in the Channel for supporting partners in their IoT journey,’ said Jo. ‘I’m looking forward to helping partners tap the lucrative IoT market as part of the Pangea team.’

And Rich comes from a series of digitally-focused roles—in his 15 years of Channel experience, he’s single-handedly secured partnerships with many of the UK’s leading restaurant chains, sports venues, retail outlets, and more. With dual passions for technology and problem-solving, Rich makes a habit of going above and beyond to bring value to customers.

‘Pangea’s focus on leveraging tech and bringing value to customers is in-line with my own,’ Rich commented. ‘So we’re a perfect fit—and I’m excited to see what the future holds.’

Both of them will be joining us in our London headquarters, where they’ll play a big part in introducing our recently launched 4G mobile L2TP and Pangea Protect, our new mobile content filtering solution to our partner base.

‘Jo and Rich are both invaluable additions to the Pangea team—especially at a time when partners’ IoT and connectivity strategies matter most,’ said our Sales Director, Bernie McPhillips. ‘We’re thrilled to have them on board!’
