British-based managed service provider (MSP) Harbor Solutions has begun operations in Australia and New Zealand as part of its Asia-Pacific expansion strategy, backed by cybersecurity company Rubrik.
As part of the entry into the region, Harbor Solutions has appointed Steven Baker as Australia and New Zealand country manager, reporting directly to the company's chief revenue officer.
Baker will oversee operations including sales, marketing, partnerships and customer outcomes as Harbor targets aggressive regional growth.
He will be based in Brisbane, and worked for Rubrik between 2020 and 2024, most recently holding the role of regional director of ANZ.
"Business resilience today relies on meticulous data management - ensuring security, maintaining compliance, and mitigating risk are no longer optional; they're essential," Baker said.
"Many organisations today are still using back up technology that was never intended to support them in the wake of a cyberattack," David Rajkovic, regional vice president for Australia and New Zealand at Rubrik, said.
"Harbor Solutions' presence in ANZ is a strategic advantage for us to scale business together and ensure organisations are equipped with the cyber recovery services they need."
"We're not just expanding geographically; we're scaling a model that's proven to deliver results when it matters most," James Harris, chief executive officer at Harbor Solutions, said.
Harbor targets a material share of future revenue from international markets, with Australia chosen as the Asia-Pacific launchpad due to technical sophistication and cultural values alignment.
