Legare, a 27-year industry veteran, will support Sales Partners in the company’s Central Region. He will report to Raymond Nelson, Intelisys’ Director of Solutions Engineering. Based out of the greater Chicago area, Legare most recently held multiple senior leadership positions with Windstream, including his roles as Manager, Sales Engineering, and Senior Network Design Specialist. Previous to his tenure with Windstream, Legare served as Sales Executive with AT&T for 16 years. Legare has extensive experience with multinational corporations in the domestic and international communications industry on a myriad of growth and engineering-related issues, including strategic positioning, vendor alliances, business development, and international expansion. “Tom has built a trusted brand reputation in both the direct and indirect channels, and his deep knowledge of cloud technology and expertise with network design makes him the perfect fit for Intelisys,” said Raymond Nelson. “We are experiencing remarkable growth in the Central Region, and our Sales Partners will benefit from the additional support and dedicated, regional solutions engineering resources.” Legare is known for bringing a structured approach to the optimization of cloud and networking technologies, producing benefits to clients in terms of cost and increased services to internal customers and providing increased value to Intelisys Sales Partners. He is proficient at creating tailored solutions that address corporate challenges by maximizing new technologies in cloud computing, security, cloud-based networking, and voice-data convergence, while incorporating business continuity and disaster recovery. “It’s rare to find two customers with the same solutions needs, even smaller businesses; and I strive to be an extension of my Sales Partners, working in service of their customers,” said Legare. “I’m committed to customization, follow-through and lifecycle relationship management. The channel is better positioned than any other segment in the industry to capitalize on technology growth. As compute becomes virtualized, customers are looking for a trusted advisor. It’s a privilege to be part of that relationship and part of the Intelisys team.”   Connect with Intelisys: **[LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/company/intelisys), [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/Intelisys), [Twitter](http://twitter.com/IntelisysCorp), [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/intelisysinc/), [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/IntelisysCorp), [Blog](https://0cdd42d8b8.nxcli.net/blog)** About Intelisys **** Intelisys, a ScanSource company, is the nation’s leading Technology Services Distributor of business communications services, including voice, data, access, cable, collaboration, wireless and cloud.
