Ping Identity names Daniel Gardner ANZ sales director

Ping Identity has named Daniel Gardner as sales director for Australia and New Zealand.

Based in Sydney, he will be responsible for further building and accelerating market momentum for the Ping Identity Platform among both public and private sector organisations in the region.

Gardner previously worked with the company for four years, during which time he was an account executive.

He was most recently regional sales manager – major accounts with CrowdStrike based in Sydney, where he managed some of CrowdStrike’s largest accounts in the region.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Daniel back to Ping Identity," Ping Identity's VP for ANZ, Ashley Diffey, said.

"Daniel’s extensive network, infectious energy and his experience accelerating growth in security sales makes him a perfect fit for Ping Identity and in supporting our customers in their identity transformation.”

Gardner said he has been genuinely impressed with the company's recent innovations and the future roadmap.

"The ANZ team, in particular, has so much runway for growth, and I can't wait to play my part in helping our customers, both new and existing, create incredible identity experiences for their customers and employees," he said.

Earlier this year, Ping Identity unveiled a comprehensive redesign of its Nexus Partner Program, featuring enhanced offerings and benefits across its partner network.
