Mitch Bagan has been appointed as its new managed services principal in Melbourne.

Bagan will be instrumental in leading and further developing the Cloud Operations and Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) teams that empower and accelerate the organisation's ability to digitally transform, as opposed to slowing them down, establishing Arinco as the market leader in Microsoft Cloud-Native Managed Services.

Bagan has a strong background in Service Delivery and IT Operations. He joins Arinco from Deloitte, where he was an Ops Director in their DevOps Engineering Team.

Prior to that, he was an Operations Manager at Microsoft Azure partner, Mexia, which was acquired by Deloitte in 2018.

"After joining Arinco it was immediate to me that the culture here is amazing, and that the business' values align with my values," Bagan says.

"By focusing on the customer first, hiring like-minded people that are truly experts at what they do, and equipping them with the resources and support to succeed, we can truly concentrate on delivering customer value and enabling their success for digital initiatives.

"Our services utilise industry best practices and cultures such as Automation, Lean, ITIL, DevOps and SRE."
