Bio
Chris Gath
Warren was my manager for the 3 years I spent at DataSolutions. The thing that stands out to me when I look back at my time there was the ability Warren has to help others grow; knowing when to get involved in the day to day details and when to step back and allow his team to develop and succeed. Warren's support, motivation and mentoring was crucial in mine and many other people's development at DataSolutions. His enthusiasm and passion for the team to grow and succeed in the UK market was, without a doubt, the main driving force behind the company's success over the last few years and will continue to be so. I would highly recommend Warren as both a colleague and a manager and would have no hesitation in working with him again in the future.

We’ve worked very successfully with Warren in developing our EMC focused business. Warren is an extremely personable chap who has gone the extra mile to ensure the channel-partner and distributor synergy is suitably maintained and ultimate growth has been achieved. Warren is genuine and has true technical empathy, which on the commercial side of any business, is a desirable and rare quality. He’s a master facilitator and plainly a very faithful team orientated person having been in situ from the Magirus days and absorbed into the much larger Avnet fold over a number of years. I’m delighted to offer a befittingly high recommendation for this fellow. Warren’s a top bloke!
