New Lantronix CEO Hopes To Bolster Channel IoT Opportunities

Irvine, Calif.-based Lantronix, which provides Internet of Things (IoT) and M2M solutions, has appointed Jeffrey Benck as its new CEO, the company announced Tuesday.
Benck (pictured), who will take over immediately, told CRN he hopes to get "more intimate" with channel partners and continue to expand Lantronix' reach with distribution partners.
"I anticipate we'll get more intimate with our channel partners by further discussing their needs and how we can help," Benck said. "Leveraging and using IoT technology is tough in many cases, and that's where we can help the channel with a richer set of solutions, education and training… we'll also continue to focus on our distribution reach."
