Raymond Dickinson has been hired as the company's first New Zealand country leader.

Dickinson's appointment will build on SailPoint's strong market position and support SailPoint's continued growth in New Zealand.

"Due to strong demand across New Zealand organisations acknowledging risks within their 'insider-threat' landscape, we recognise the need for leading talent on the ground to support our customers in their identity security journey.

"We're thrilled to have Raymond join us to help protect Kiwi companies and deliver an intelligent, autonomous identity foundation that fuels their business and accelerates their transformation," SailPoint Australia - New Zealand country manager Nam Lam says.

"Raymond brings valuable knowledge and experience in the enterprise technology sector in New Zealand and has a strong track record of helping enterprises achieve their identity security objectives.

"With his expertise and growth mindset, I believe Raymond will deliver value for our customers as we work together to grow the SailPoint business in New Zealand."

Dickinson brings over 20 years of enterprise technology experience and was most recently Team Leader Major Accounts at Fortinet, where he managed several large enterprise customers.

Before Fortinet, Raymond held various sales and senior leadership roles at The Greater Knowledge Company (GKC), Fujitsu and Infinity Solutions.

He has also been a Member of the Board of Trustees at Fragile X New Zealand Trust for almost five years.

"I'm honoured to join SailPoint as it's the leading provider of identity security for the modern enterprise," Dickinson says.

"I am eager to support organisations in New Zealand as they work to secure and manage all of their identities across all technology and cloud resource access needs.

As SailPoint continues to take identity security to the next level, I look forward to building a strong team to help enterprises develop a solid security strategy that is secure and compliant."
