AUCKLAND, July 23, 2024 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced the appointment of Chris Zamagias as Head of Partnerships and Alliances for its Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Commercial business.

With over 35 years’ experience in IT and sales within the channel and reseller community, Zamagias has a deep specialism in cybersecurity and networking, having worked at Juniper Networks, F5 Networks, Symantec and Aqua Security. On the heels of the appointment of Srujan Talakokkula as Managing Director earlier this year, Zamagias’ appointment marks a dedicated focus and investment in the channel community to support, build and nurture partners and resellers in ANZ.

“Chris’ extensive experience in developing and managing channel communities across the region will be an invaluable addition to our business,” said Srujan Talakokkula, Managing Director at Trend Micro, ANZ, Commercial. “At Trend Micro our focus is on treating our partners as an extension of our team, supporting them with the resources to maximise growth, competence, and help meet the evolving needs of our joint customers.”

Trend Micro announced a redesign of its Global Partner Program late last year, to accelerate business growth for its partners and deliver value to customers. The program is built around the Trend Vision One™ platform, creating opportunities for partners to deliver services and assessments for both enterprise and SMB-focused partners. It empowers partners to succeed through personalised solutions and enablement plans built for each individual business model, including training and development, tiered benefits, digital services and specialised playbooks.

“With the rapidly evolving threat and cybersecurity landscape, and ever-increasing complexity of environments, I’m incredibly excited to be joining a global leader like Trend Micro,” said Zamagias. “I pride myself on identifying opportunities and implementing programs to grow business opportunities, so look forward to working with partners to garner mutual success in improving cyber resiliency of businesses across Australia and New Zealand.”
