In his new role at Sigma Ishaq will drive Sigma’s global channels and partners program focusing on developing strategic partnerships and driving new business across Sigma’s Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as Asia-Pacific regions.

I believe there is a great opportunity for Sigma’s technology within these sectors and I look forward to exploring these with the Sigma team as we go forward.”
