‘Azagoury is a serious services executive, not some box-kicker,’ says martinwolf M&A Advisors President Martin Wolf.
Insight Enterprises Monday named Accenture veteran Jack Azagury as its new president and CEO, effective April 13.
Azagury is a channel services veteran who previously led a $15 billion services business as the former group chief executive of consulting for Solution Provider 500 powerhouse Accenture.
At the same time, Insight, No. 20 on the 2025 CRN Solution Provider 500, announced North America President Dee Burger, who joined Insight four years ago, is stepping aside effective March 31 to pursue other opportunities.
“Burger’s decision to step down was not the result of any disagreement with the company or the board of director or management on any matter relating to the company’s operations, policies or practices,” Insight said in a filing Monday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, general counsel Sam Cowley, a 10-year Insight veteran, is retiring effective March 31, after what Insight called a “distinguished 43-year career.” He is being succeeded by Karim Adatia, who currently serves as senior vice president and deputy general counsel.
Insight declined a request for an interview with Azagury, noting he will not be available until after he officially assumes the role.
Azagury (pictured) succeeds Joyce Mullen, the former Dell Technologies channel chief and global channels vice president who took over as CEO four years ago and announced her retirement last October.
Mullen’s appointment, along with the hiring of Burger, were both aimed at accelerating Insight’s shift to a services-led model.
The hiring of Azagury is “clearly a signal” that Insight is stepping up its focus on delivering services, said Martin Wolf, president of martinwolf M&A Advisors, Scottsdale, Ariz., one of the top technology services investment advisory dealmakers. “Azagoury is a serious services executive, not some box-kicker,” said Wolf
Insight’s AI Push Continues
Insight in a statement said the appointment of Azagury is aimed at accelerating the company’s “transformation as an AI-first solutions integrator.”
In a LinkedIn post, Azagury said: “We are at a pivotal moment. [AI] requires organizations to move beyond experimentation towards measurable impact, and we have work to do to meet the pace of this transformation. Our focus is clear: to accelerate our position as the world’s leading solutions integrator to help our clients realize the full potential of AI.”
Insight said it has made “meaningful investments in AI solutions over the past year, including the acquisition last October of Inspire11, which is focused on helping companies create “lasting business impact” from AI.
Last November, Insight launched Insight AI, a comprehensive suite of services to address common barriers to AI “value realization.”
The changing of the guard comes with Insight’s net sales in 2025 down 5 percent to $8.24 billion compared with $8.70 billion in 2024. North America sales in 2025 were down 6 percent to $6.65 billion compared with $7.05 billion in 2024.
The company’s services sales for 2025 were up 2 percent to $1.76 billion compared with $1.68 billion in the year ago quarter. Product sales in 2025 were down 7 percent to $6.53 billion compared with $7.01 billion in 2024.
After the announcement, Insight shares closed up 41 cents to $71.12 on March 23, hovering above the 52-week low of $70.32.
Azagury, a 29-year Accenture veteran, led a consulting services team of over 47,000 employees and also served on Accenture’s global management committee from March 2020 through September 2025.
In September 2025, Azagury joined private equity firm TowerBrook as a senior advisor, working with multiple portfolio companies, including as chairman of global services firm Berkeley Research Group, chairman of audit, tax and advisory firm EisnerAmper and a member of the board of IT services provider CBTS, No. 44 on the 2025 Solution Provider 500.
In the SEC filing, Insight said Azagury’s pay package includes a $1.1 million base salary, target annual cash incentive of $1.65 million, a $1 million relocation bonus, and equity awards valued at $18 million.
In the same filing, Insight said Cowley, the outgoing general counsel, will continue to serve as an advisor following his retirement for one year with a base salary of $418,000 and will continue to participate in the company’s benefit plans.
