Prior, Pelliconi directed various sales management initiatives at Xerox Corporation, Tripp Lite, CompUSA and Monroe Systems for Business.

"I am joining Kyocera’s Strategic Channels Group at a time when the industry is in a state of transition. In recent years, resellers are beginning to realize the strategic opportunities in offering value-added services that go beyond box sales for steady revenue streams," said Jeffrey Pelliconi. "Kyocera empowers its channel with innovative opportunities, such as the MPS business model, and I look forward to working with the channel community to highlight how the Company’s initiatives will help increase individual resellers sales opportunities."
