Dell and Alphawest senior managers to join Brennan to drive sales activity across NSW and Victoria
Leading managed services provider to the mid-market, Brennan, today announced a strengthening of its management team with two senior sales appointments to support the company’s continued growth and expansion in the new financial year.

Stuart Roberts has been appointed to the position of Victorian sales manager. Roberts joins Brennan from Dell where for the last seven years he has held numerous leadership roles in the solutions group responsible for server, storage and infrastructure consulting sales across Australia.

Taking charge of Brennan’s sales activities in NSW is Troy Soutar who has been appointed NSW sales manager. Soutar heralds from Alphawest where he was the national sales manager for the business solutions group. He has also held senior sales positions at KAZ, Getronics, Powertel and Nomad Solutions.

Roberts and Soutar will play pivotal roles in leading new business and cross sell activities across their respective markets, as well as building profitability. Stephen Sims, general manager sales and marketing at Brennan cites their passion for the mid market and extensive experience leading sales teams and driving profitable growth as key reasons for their appointment to the management team.

“We are committed to finding the best people in the industry who can bring to Brennan the skills and experience we need to support our next phase of growth and to help us put in place the strategy and processes to take our business to the next level. Troy and Stuart have a detailed understanding of our market, competition and service offerings and we are thrilled to welcome them to the team,” said Sims.

Commenting on his appointment, Roberts notes Brennan’s strong reputation across the mid market and robust suite of mid market purposed solutions as factors influencing his decision to take up the new role.

“There are very few mid market managed services companies that are positioned as well as Brennan. Being able to offer a full end-to-end solution is somewhat unique and presents a huge competitive advantage.

“In Victoria we have a really strong foothold in the telephony market however the biggest opportunity that I see is around our data, managed services and Infrastructure-as-a-Service offerings. This is where Brennan really excels and will be our focus over the coming year,” said Roberts.

Soutar agrees, adding: “For many years there has been a desire by most companies to invest heavily in company owned infrastructure, however there is a significant shift occurring across the market.  The numbers for a hosted cloud model are so compelling that many companies are now exploring ways of gaining further efficiencies, saving, and consolidation across their IT infrastructure. This is especially so in the mid market where smaller IT teams and budgets are driving a flight to solutions such as IaaS that can offer a genuine return on investment as well as auxiliary benefits such as improved scalability and efficiency gains.”
