After nearly six years at the helm of distributor Lan Systems, Nick Verykios has left the building. Lan Systems has announced that sales and marketing director, Wendy O’Keefe, will take the helm as general manager.

Chief finance officer, Andrew Blunden, has also left Lan, to be replaced by former director of operations, Dave Corcoran.

Announcing the new appointments,Asia-Pacific general manager of Lan’s parent company Westcon Group, Robin Rindel, said the departure of Verykios and Blunden was an amicable one.

He declined to elaborate as Westcon is in a quiet period while it prepares for an IPO on the US stock exchange.

Verykios said both he and Blunden had independently elected not to renew their contracts with Lan Systems, in order to pursue new opportunities.
