NetApp makes a trio of ANZ leadership appointments

NetApp has appointed three senior leaders across its Australia and New Zealand business, naming Sally Hakim as senior director, enterprise and government; Andrew Moffatt as director, commercial; and Bridget Maritz as director, partner and alliances.

Hakim brings more than 25 years of industry experience to the role, which carries responsibility for NetApp's enterprise and government business across ANZ. She previously held leadership positions at Dell Technologies, Cisco, NBN Co, DXC Technology, HPE and SingTel Optus.

Moffatt steps into the commercial director role with more than 25 years of technology sales leadership behind him, having held senior positions at Microsoft, HP, IBM and Dell Technologies. He will focus on expanding customer engagements and helping organisations prepare for AI-driven growth.

Maritz takes on the partner and alliances director role with more than a decade of channel leadership experience, most recently at HPE, where she held several channel leadership positions.

"Sally Hakim, Andrew Moffatt and Bridget Maritz each bring a proven track record of leadership, deep industry expertise, and a strong customer- and partner-first mindset," said Mark Fioretto, area vice president and managing director for Australia and New Zealand at NetApp.

"Their collective experience will be instrumental in deepening our relationships across ANZ and helping organisations unlock greater value from their data."

The appointments come as NetApp marks 25 years of operating in ANZ.

The company said it continues to invest in its Intelligent Data Infrastructure platform, which spans on-premises, hybrid and multicloud environments, and has pointed to demand for AI-ready data infrastructure as a key driver of its regional strategy.
