Infoblox is expanding its New Zealand business with two new senior appointments as demand for the company’s services rises with government, financial services, retail and critical infrastructure customers.
The company has appointed Hamish Soper as Enterprise Account Executive, leading sales and customer service for the country. Soper brings more than 20 years’ enterprise technology leadership experience to the role, from industry leading companies including Westpac, Vodafone, Check Point, Cisco and Tesserent.
Meanwhile, Hayden Poh has taken the role of Solutions Architect and Technical Lead for New Zealand, bringing more than 15 years’ experience from companies including Dimension Data (now part of NTT), ANZ Bank, Cisco, and Zoom.
Infoblox A/NZ ANZ Managing Director Scott Morris said: “Having experts like Hamish and Hayden on the ground will accelerate the growth we’re already seeing in New Zealand as the country raises its cyber posture.”
The expansion comes as New Zealand sharpens its focus on cyber security and tackling financial scams.
The Government recently launched new anti-scam coordination efforts after New Zealanders lost NZ$200 million to scams in 2023 and is also increasing cyber support and educative tools for small businesses.
It also comes following the launch of Infoblox’s industry-first Universal DDI (DNS, DHCP, and IP address management) product suite. The suite enables cohesive DDI management, comprehensive asset visibility and proactive security by breaking down silos across NetOps, CloudOps and SecOps teams while offering adaptive deployment models.
