Mike Prieto has been appointed as Australia & New Zealand Vice President and Managing Director.

Prieto joins the team amidst strong revenue and ARR growth across all regions, and his appointment is part of AvePoint's increased investment in ANZ and comes alongside the appointment of Max McNamara as Director of Solution Engineering.

AvePoint has meaningfully invested in its ANZ team in recent quarters to cater to robust customer demand for digital collaboration security and data management software.

"Recent data breaches and ransomware attacks have brought data management to the forefront of business conversation in ANZ and highlighted the importance of robust and secure data management solutions and processes," Prieto says.

"With hybrid working, we're also seeing an increased need to improve the productivity of a workforce that is primarily operating in the cloud."

"I'm thrilled to be joining AvePoint at such a critical time for data management and look forward to working with the talented team to improve the security and productivity of organisations across ANZ."
