Symantec has appointed Ian McAdam as managing director for the Pacific, filling a role vacated by Brenton Smith's departure at the end of last year.
Paul Simos had been acting in the position but is now the Veritas Pacific managing director, following the split of Symantec into separate security and information companies.
"I am thrilled to be joining Symantec at such an important time in the company’s history," said McAdam.
The new Pacific managing director comes to the security vendor from Oracle, where he was ANZ applications vice president for nearly four years. He will be reporting to Symantec APJ senior vice president Sanjay Rohatgi.
"[McAdam] brings to our company an excellent reputation for effective leadership in the IT software industry – forming and fostering solid relationships with customers and partners," said Rohatgi.
"Symantec has a strong heritage in Pacific, having had a presence here for approximately 25 years. As we work toward completing our company separation by January 2016, this region will remain a vital market for Symantec."
McAdam will be based in Symantec's Sydney office.
