NetApp names new Aussie MD

Storage vendor NetApp has appointed a new managing director for Australia and New Zealand, following last year’s departure of former A/NZ boss Peter O’Connor.

O’Connor left to take up a role at rival storage vendor Nimble Storage, as vice president for Asia Pacific and Japan, in September.

He will be replaced by NetApp's commercial sales director for A/NZ, Steve Manley, CRN can reveal.

Manley has been with NetApp since January 2008. He previously held roles across Avnet and service provider Trilogy.

NetApp had been searching for a replacement since September last year.

Manley was unable to comment by the time of publication.
