He brings 25 years of experience to the country manager position, having previously worked at Hyperion, Oracle, Microfocus, Blue Prism as well as Talend, where he was the ANZ regional vice president.

Fazackerley joins the US headquartered Qlik from Talend, which the company announced it would acquire in January this year.

Qlik also bought automated machine learning firm Big Squid in 2021.
