Network load balancer vendor Kemp Technologies has promoted its Australia and New Zealand channel manager Luke Holland to the newly created role of country manager.
In his new role, Holland will oversee all marketing, strategic partnerships and sales for the region, and is also expected to contribute to Kemp’s overall strategy and increase market share with new product offerings.
“Luke brings with him vast industry experience and a proven track record, which has been a key part of our success in Australia,” said Leigh Bradford, vice president, sales for EMEA and ANZ.
“We expect Luke to take KEMP to the next level of success, and to strengthen the company’s position as an industry innovator and leader in the ADC space.”
Holland joined the company in 2015 as channel manager, after serving as channel manager for antivirus vendor Webroot.
“I’m excited and honoured to be leading such a talented group of people,” Holland said.
“Kemp Technologies has that rare blend of leading products, an enthusiastic customer base, amazingly talented people and a dedication to technology innovation and momentum in the ANZ market.”
The appointment comes as Kemp launches a new metered enterprise licensing agreement (MELA), a subscription service offering a more flexible way for its customers to license Kemp's products.
“MELA allows organizations to pay-as-you-grow with an application delivery infrastructure that is flexible, cost effective, scalable and always right-sized,” Holland said.
Holland was featured in CRN’s channel chiefs, making the special this year and in 2016.
