The seasoned professional will drive growth by extending relationships with partners and service providers, offering cyber protection solutions to APAC organisations.
Acronis will be appointing Neil Morarji as its General Manager for the Asia Pacific region, effective next Monday, 30 March.
Neil Morarji comes with more than 20 years of experience in the cloud and digital transformation space.
Prior to joining Acronis, he managed Ingram Micro’s Cloud Platform Business (Odin) in APJ.
He was responsible for business growth, professional services and alliance management, driving and maintaining sustained growth across regional cloud partners.
And before that, Morarji was a managing director at Parallels and Odin in Australia and New Zealand, where he built trusted partnerships with some of the countries’ largest services providers and hosters.
Morarji, previously the Head of Enterprise division for APAC, will now lead the growing sales team in Asia and Australasia in delivering the company’s cyber protection technology by developing relationships with local partners and service providers.
One of Morarji’s first objectives has been to launch the new Acronis Partner Programs in APAC.
Under his leadership, Acronis team will help channel partners and managed service providers (MSPs) expand their portfolios and deliver fast ROI through offering innovative products and services that address the Five Vectors of Cyber Protection.
These include the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security of all data, applications, and systems (SAPAS).
“Neil joined us at a time of growth, bringing strong leadership and unparalleled expertise in cloud distribution field to the team. With our extensive global network of more than 50,000 partners, Acronis has enjoyed tremendous business growth last year – APAC being the fastest growing region. Neil’s experience will also be instrumental in developing our service provider network – now 6,500 service providers worldwide and growing rapidly,” said Pasha Ershow, Acronis Revenue Officer.
