Darren Rawlinson has joined in the newly-created role of business development manager - Google Pixel and Android Enterprise solutions, with a brief to support new and existing partners to drive sales of Pixel and the wider Android Enterprise ecosystem of solutions. He brings two decades of experience of working in the business mobile sector, many of which were spent in distribution and key vendors. Most recently, he was working as Partner Development Manager – Android Enterprise, North EMEA for Google, helping strategic partners to drive success and maximise the benefits of working with the company. Prior to that, he was MX product manager for B2B software, services and solutions at Samsung Electronics UK, where this included Knox. He previously spent a successful six years in a mobile solutions manager role within mobile distribution.

In addition to dedicated business development support for Google Pixel and Android Enterprise solutions, partners can also benefit from the unrivalled availability, shipment, credit and financial options, and value-added services, such as configuration, enablement and training, available from TD SYNNEX.

Darren Rawlinson stated: ‘I am excited to be at TD SYNNEX and to educate partners around Google Pixel and Android-based solutions. Pixel is the only end-to-end, pure-play Android proposition on the market, whilst the Android Enterprise ecosystem offers easy management and deployment of Pixel and other Android devices, built-in proactive security, powerful employee experiences, along with the best of Google tools. Being aware of these factors and how to explain and deliver them, gives partners a clear competitive edge where enterprises are looking for mobile solutions that deliver exceptional performance, reliability and security.’
With Google Pixel devices, customers get the best possible Android user experience and receive software updates from Google as soon as they become available. They also benefit from enhanced security and management, and zero-touch enrolment capabilities. The broader Android Enterprise ecosystem of devices and EMM solutions, plus factors such as Zero Touch, Android Work Profile and Device Trust, are all elements and solutions that help to deliver the best of Android in any B2B situation.
