Luke Power has been appointed as ANZ Managing Director.

Power was previously Cisco Commercial ANZ Managing Director, where he made a name for Cisco's commercial business in Australia and New Zealand among private sector customers.

He also has 20 years of experience as McAfee Sales Director and Avaya ANZ Chief Operating Officer, respectively.

McAfee Enterprise and FireEye changed the name of their XDR business to Trellix in January.

"Wow! What a ride," Power wrote in a LinkedIn post.

"Today marks my last day at Cisco after more than 21 quarters!

"Cisco has been an amazing place to work and a life-changing experience that I will never forget.

"I want to thank all the Cisco customers, partners and distributors that I have formed some life-long friendships with. Thank you for your partnership.

"There are way too many individuals to thank, but I do want to pay special mention to Jason Brouwers, who brought me back to Cisco (a 2nd time) and Ben Dawson for his leadership, guidance and trust in me over the last two years.

"Last but definitely not least, I want to thank all the teams I got to lead - we gave it one hell of a shake and left nothing on the table - It was a privilege to serve you all, and your support has been incredible.

"Pumped and excited for my new journey and adventure starting next week!"
