Identity and access security software vendor BeyondTrust has appointed two Asia-Pacific sales leaders in a bid to further expand the company's regional market.
Gold Coast-based Sami Toivonen joins BeyondTrust as ANZ Regional Sales Director and will be responsible for driving sales growth in Australia and New Zealand.
With more than 15 years' IT sales experience, Toivonen was formerly Client Director APAC Strategic Accounts at Venafi, where he drove the company’s regional business strategy for growth and diversification among both public and private sector organisations.
Prior to that role, Toivonen was APJ Sales Director at SecureAuth where he was responsible for helping organisations across the region with their identity security journey.
In addition, he worked at Kordia Solutions as a Channel Manager prior to assuming the role of Security Sales Lead for Australia.
Toivonen initially launched his career in cybersecurity at McAfee as a Cyber Security Account Manager, where he held responsibility for the ANZ and EMEA regions supporting both public and private organisations with their cybersecurity posture.
BeyondTrust has also appointed Singapore-based Charlie Wood as Asia Regional Sales Director, who will be responsible for driving growth across Southeast Asia.
Formerly ANZ Regional Sales Manager for BeyondTrust in Melbourne, Wood has ten years’ experience in the cybersecurity industry, including four years working as a Corporate Account Manager at Avecto, which was acquired by BeyondTrust.
During the past ten years, Wood has worked with end users and channel partners to support successful deployments and outcomes for customer investment and value in the BeyondTrust platform.
"Both Sami Toivonen and Charlie Wood are dynamic sales leaders with deep knowledge of the identity space and in creating winning relationships with customers and partners," BeyondTrust Senior Vice President Asia Pacific Nick Turnbull said.
"We are committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience and we're excited to add the combination of their skills and experience to provide customers with unmatched visibility and control against ongoing cyber threats."
"As the Australia, New Zealand and Asia regions continue to take on an increased significance for our global business, we'll continue to accelerate our growth trajectory driven by strong revenue growth, product expansion, and industry and partner recognition."
