Lee Little, a well-known figure in the computer industry and an experienced channel sales veteran, today joined Lindows.com as the Senior Director of Sales for the System Builder Channel. Credited with establishing AMD as a global force in an Intel-dominated system builder channel, Little has a successful career history of successfully introducing new technologies into established markets.
As AMD's director of sales, global accounts and director of field marketing, Little oversaw much of the activity in Canada and the Americas. Under his leadership, the company grew from single-digit market share to over 30% in the competitive computer system arena. Recently, Little was an early channel sales pioneer at Dell Inc. and also served as executive vice president of Sequent Technologies, a video and data technology company that focused on wireless applications.
"Lee's proven track record with disruptive technologies makes him a valuable addition to the Lindows.com team," said Michael Robertson, chief executive officer of Lindows.com Inc. "His talents will help accelerate the already explosive growth of Linux on the desktop."
"Similar to my experiences at AMD, the market is demanding choice, " said Lee Little. "Lindows.com has a cost-effective operating system, offering a clear choice for those seeking a desktop Linux solution that is easy to use and secure. I look forward to leveraging my 20+ years in technology sales and marketing in helping the explosive growth of acceptance of desktop Linux and LindowsOS."
Little will manage the growth in the system builder channel for Lindows.com under the direction of Larry Kettler, Vice President of Sales. Lindows.com currently sells in more that 33 countries and is available in PC Club, Fry's, Walmart Microcenter and other well-known retailers worldwide (www.lindows.com/featured).
