Proofpoint's country leader for ANZ departs

Crispin Kerr, the area vice president and country leader for ANZ at Proofpoint, has left the business.

He joined the company in July of 2015 as an enterprise account manager before rising to the role of ANZ country manager less than four years later.

Prior to Proofpoint, he was at Webroot for over seven years, with four of those spent as MD of Asia Pacific.

In a LinkedIn post, Kerr said his time leading the ANZ business was "unquestionably the highlight" of his career.

"When I took over the ANZ business, we were a small team of around 20 people. Today, the team is more than 100 people strong and the business has grown over 5X," he said.

"Those numbers tell part of the story, but they are not what I am most proud of. I am proud of the business and culture we built together. I am proud of the customers and partners we have earned the trust of, the careers that have developed here, the people who have stepped into bigger roles, and the number of people who have chosen to stay and build their careers at Proofpoint through great years and more challenging ones."
