Ivanti has appointed Michael Coleman as Partner Sales Director for Australia and New Zealand.

Coleman joins Ivanti to strengthen the partner ecosystem in ANZ and enable partners to realise the full benefits of the Ivanti Neurons solutions.

The appointment comes after the recent announcement of Ivanti's new fully-enabled Partner Portal and Campaign Central, aimed at enhancing partner marketing efforts through streamlining lead generation and building personalised experiences.

"We are thrilled for Michael to join Ivanti and support growth in our partner network across the region," says Matthew Lowe, Area Vice President, ANZ.

"Building a strong partner ecosystem is crucial to the success of our business and our partners', especially in this time where cyber threats are increasing.

"We are committed to providing partners with the resources they need to thrive and with Michael's wealth of experience in driving partner programs, he will bring more synergy to Ivanti's channel program."

Coleman has over 20 years of experience in IT and channel organisations. Most recently, Coleman led the rebuild of the channel program at Netskope as Channel Manager.

He has also been instrumental in the growth of national partner programs at FireEye and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. 

"Ivanti has a great partner program, and I am looking forward to building on this to make an even greater impact for our partners," Coleman says.

"With the increase in cyber threats, it is more important than ever for businesses to prioritise and streamline their security measures.

"As Ivanti is one of the only companies that combines unified endpoint management, enterprise service management and cybersecurity in an integrated system, there are many ways in which we can streamline efficiencies, add value and profitability for our partners through our programs."
