extending relationships with partners
and service providers offering cyber protection solutions to
APAC organizations
SINGAPORE, 30 March 2020 - Acronis, a global leader in
cyber
protection, announced today the appointment of Neil Morarji as
General Manager in Asia Pacific region. Morarji, previously the
Head of Enterprise division for APAC, will now lead the growing
sales team in Asia and Australasia - excluding Japan and Korea
where the company has local offices - in delivering the world's
most advanced cyber protection technology by developing
relationships with local partners and service providers.
Founded in Singapore in 2003, Acronis operates from its dual
headquarters in Singapore and Switzerland, and leads the market by
offering complete cyber protection for all virtual, physical,
cloud, and mobile workloads with solutions that are enhanced with
integrated, AI-powered anti-ransomware
and blockchain-based
data notarization technologies.
"Neil joined us at a time of growth, bringing strong leadership
and unparalleled expertise in cloud distribution field to the
team," said Pasha Ershow, Acronis Revenue Officer. "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."
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, ensuring the safety, accessibility, privacy,
authenticity, and security of all data, applications, and systems
(SAPAS).
A critical step for the industry given the current global
crisis, aiming to ease the workload for company's existing partners
around the world, as well as new ones. The Partner Programs
combining new partner tiers and numerous incentives, will help
sustain Acronis' growth rate this year, following a whopping 30%
overall business growth in 2019.
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.
"I'm excited to turn the company's global strategic thinking
into a local execution plan and accelerate business growth in
Asia," said Morarji. "Now, more than ever, the market needs
Acronis' proven cyber protection solutions. We're going to continue
helping our partners succeed by providing service and support
that's second to none."
