Brisbane-headquartered Venn IT Solutions has kicked off the new year announcing the launch of a new branch in Melbourne, the appointment of Ashley Diffey as the company's first general manager for Victoria and the signing of several new contracts.
At the same time, the Queensland founded company has moved its headquarters to larger multi-storey premises in Bowen Hills in Brisbane where it has created a collaborative workspace for employees, partners and customers.
The new location will enable the company to grow and expand its employee base in the years ahead as new business is signed among both private and public sectors in Queensland.
Heading up the new Melbourne branch is Ashley Diffey who joins Venn IT Solutions with more than 15 years' experience in the IT industry.
He will be responsible for supporting new customer acquisition, managing end user deployments and fuelling partner relationships across Victoria. Diffey previously worked at F5 Networks as channel manager where he was responsible for partner enablement and sales support for Australia.
Prior, he held several positions at Commvault over a period of more than for years, including as director of channel sales ANZ and Southern Region channel sales manager.
He has also worked in several sales and account management positions for organisations, including Weston Group, Broad reach Services, Telstra and Premier Global Services.
