Exact Macola has hired Gayle Prokop as director of alliances and channel development. Prokop is responsible for the company's Unity Partner Program, which was launched in January. For Macola, this is a big deal as the program was stagnant for the last several years before the prior management was run out of town. Prokop was previously VCE national business leader of Cisco Solutions Group for Avnet Technology Solutions from July 2011.
