Insight Enterprises named Jack Azagury as its new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective April 13 2026, following the retirement of Joyce Mullen who will serve in an advisory capacity.
Azagury, formerly Chief Group Executive for Strategy & Consulting at Accenture, brings deep experience in digital and AI transformations. His appointment signals Insight’s intent to accelerate its AI‑first solutions integration, a strategy that has already driven the acquisition of firms such as Inspire11 and Infocenter.
Insight’s most recent earnings, released February 5 2026, showed adjusted earnings per share of $2.96, beating analyst expectations of $2.84 by $0.12. Revenue, however, fell to $2.05 billion, a $0.04 miss versus the $2.09 billion consensus, largely due to weaker product‑related services performance. Gross margin expanded to 21.2% from 21.0% in the prior year, driven by higher mix of high‑margin services and cost discipline.
The company’s FY2026 guidance projects adjusted diluted EPS of $11.00–$11.50, comfortably above the $9.89 consensus, and a gross margin target of approximately 21%. Management highlighted that the guidance reflects confidence in scaling AI platform monetization while maintaining disciplined cost growth. Segment data shows product sales declined, whereas services and cloud segments delivered mixed results, underscoring the need for continued focus on high‑margin offerings.
Tim Crown, Insight’s co‑founder and chairman, said, "We are in a pivotal moment for our industry and for Insight. AI is redefining what it means to be a technology partner, and our clients expect us to lead that charge." The market has responded cautiously, with investors weighing the company’s revenue decline against the upside potential of its AI strategy and the new CEO’s track record.
With Azagury at the helm, Insight aims to leverage its AI capabilities to drive growth in high‑margin services, while navigating a challenging macro environment that has pressured client spending. The leadership change, combined with a clear financial outlook, positions the company to pursue its long‑term transformation agenda.
