Prior to joining NetApp, McPherson also held roles at HP, Telstra, Genesys and Cisco, where he worked for almost 10 years and was most recently Cisco's regional manager, sales.
His promotion comes as NetApp's country manager, Steve Manley, gets promoted to run the South Pacific region, consisting of Australia, New Zealand and ASEAN.
Manley has held several roles since he joined NetApp in 2008 including account executive, commercial and northern region sales manager for Australia and New Zealand and most recently as managing director.

The changes follow recent reports of a global restructure in the company, which will see 650 staff lose their jobs. In a statement earlier this month, NetApp said the cuts part of a strategy to focus on growing areas of all-flash arrays, next-generation data centres and hybrid cloud solutions.
