The company has announced the appointment of John Milionis as head of channels and alliances for Australia and New Zealand.

Based in Melbourne, Milionis is responsible for leading Zscaler's ANZ channels go-to-market strategy with a focus on growth strategies.

He will focus on enhancing partnerships with managed service partners, value added resellers, and systems integration alliance vendors in enabling secure cloud transformation for customers across commercial, enterprise, and public sector market segments.

Milionis joins Zscaler with more than 25 years of experience working in the enterprise IT, telecommunications, and consulting sectors across business development, channel partner enablement, and sales management programs.

"We are delighted to have John heading our ANZ channel partner community at this time. His extensive experience in sales, consulting, and channel development, will continue to drive our escalating growth," Zscaler head of alliance and channels APJ, Foad Farrokhnia, says.

"He also has terrific skills from his experience at several dynamic, growing companies where he was instrumental in scaling their channel partner network from the startup phase all the way through to regional expansion, Farrokhnia adds.

"As we move further in 2022 with brighter days on the horizon, leading Australian enterprises want to accelerate their investments in cloud security solutions," John Milionis says.

"I'm looking forward to working with our channel partners to enable our joint customers to break free from legacy approaches to security with the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform, which provides true any-to-any zero trust connectivity.

"Zscaler is committed to helping customers accelerate their cloud security transformations and a committed, certified and highly regarded ANZ channel partner network will provide them with the best possible experience on their ongoing digital transformation journeys."
